2106871 - Journal Entry Header Text and Journal Entry Item Text for G/L Account are Blank

Symptom

Journal Entry Header Text and Journal Entry Item Text are not displayed in G/L Accounts - Line Items report.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the General Ledger work center.
  2. Go to the Reports view.
  3. Go to the List sub view.
  4. Search for the G/L Accounts - Line Items Report and run it.

Under Journal Entry Header Text and Journal Entry Item Text characteristics, the symbol # (unassigned) is shown.

Cause

The G/L account is a Purchase in Transit Account. These are temporary accounts as these accounts are not direct posting. Instead, it is a clearing account for the direct postings.

Resolution

This is the expected system behavior.

Purchase in Transit G/L accounts are temporary accounts and these accounts are not direct posting account. Instead, it is clearing account for the direct posting like the supplier invoice and Goods and Service Receipt.

Hence, no text under Journal Entry Header Text and Journal Entry Item Text can be seen for G/L Account Line Item report.
