Symptom

When trying to enable the 'Billing Document Item to Market Segment' scenario for Custom Field in business context Sales: Billing Document Item (SD_BILLINGDOCITEM), the error "Custom Field YY1_XXXX: Invalid Type Code List based on CDS View for Business Context Accounting: Market Segment" is triggered.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

Custom Field Type "Code List based on CDS View" is not supported in Market Segment context.

Resolution

The available Field Types for this scenario are: Text, Numerical Text and Code List. 

Note: If you add custom fields using the type Code List, values must always be written in upper case. It is technically possible to enter values that are not written in uppercase.
