3709847 - Incorrect Creator Field in API_OPLACCTGDOCITEMCUBE_SRV in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The field "AccountingDocCreatedByUser" in API_OPLACCTGDOCITEMCUBE_SRV references the user who last approved the workflow of the journal entry instead of the user who submitted the journal entry for approval.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

This is system standard behavior. 

For the Operational Journal Entry Item API (technical name: A_OperationalAcctgDocItemCube), the only field that identifies the creator is AccountingDocCreatedByUser, as described in the Help Portal.

By design, the user who approves and posts the journal entry is recorded as the Journal Entry creator. The person who submitted the journal entry has only parked/submitted the document, and it is not captured in that field. 

To see who originally submitted the entry, there are several options:

1. In the Verify General Journal Entries app, check the "Submitted by" field 
2. In the Manage Journal Entries (General Information tab), there are separate fields for "Journal Entry Created By" and "Submitted/Parked by." 
3. Use CDS I_JournalEntry with the field ParkedByUser, which will link to who submitted the journal entry.
