2821106 - Journal Entries are not fetched by API Accounting Document – Read - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

API Accounting Document - Read (Technical name: API_OPLACCTGDOCITEMCUBE_SRV) does not extract some Journal Entries, like Asset postings(document type: AA).

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

The reason is that API Accounting Document – Read only reads the operational accounting documents in Entry View (Table BSEG). If the record is only in ledger view, it is not extracted by the API. See SAP Help Portal: Operational Journal Entry Item - Read (A2X)

Resolution

In Finance there are two major storages for documents posted. The table BSEG (Entry View) records postings from other applications and is relevant for operational processes in Finance like clearing of receivables. This is exposed therefore as OperationAcctgDocItem. In addition, there are valuation and Finance processes specific for General Ledger which are not recorded in BSEG but only in the other major storage ACDOCA (Ledger View). This data is exposed as JournalEntryItem.
There is a second exposure as GLAccountLineItem which includes the balance carry forward with the JournalEntryItem. The API available to extract journal entry items is Journal Entry Item - Read (Technical name: API_JOURNALENTRYITEMBASIC_SRV).

See SAP Help Portal: Journal Entry Item - Read (A2X) but there are Restriction:
