3649852 - Journal entry item text not copied into goods receipt booking in "Confirm Receipt of Goods - New" app

Symptom

During goods receipt posting, the item text is not transferred to the general ledger document. As a result, journal entries appear without descriptive information, making it difficult to review postings in reporting apps.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a purchase requisition.
  2. Convert the purchase requisition to a purchase order.
  3. Use the "Confirm Receipt of Goods - New" (F4489) app to confirm receipt of goods.
  4. Review the accounting document, specifically the "Journal Entry Item Text" field.

Cause

The behavior is expected due to the absence of logic to pass the item text from the purchase document to the accounting document in the "Confirm Receipt of Goods - New" process.

Resolution

  • Implement the BADI MMIM_ITEM_CHECK_DATA, which is called during MIGO, to fill the field MATERIALDOCUMENTITEMTEXT (Item Text).
  • Refer to the SAP Help documentation for detailed steps: App Extensibility: Post Goods Movement
