3721364 - Reference fields are missing in the app Display Line Items in General Ledger (F2217) - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • Field "Reference 1 ID by Business Partner" is not available in the settings of "Display Line Items in General Ledger".
  • Only fields "Reference 1" or "Reference 2" are available in Display Line Items in General Ledger.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the "Display Line Items in General Ledger" app.
  2. Navigate to the settings to view available fields.
  3. Observe that "Reference 1 ID by Business Partner" is not listed among the available fields.

Cause

  • The "Display Line Items in General Ledger" app utilizes the G/L view of documents, relying on CDS view C_JOURNALENTRYITEMBROWSER, which is based on table ACDOCA.
  • Reference fields stored in table BKPF (entry view) are not included in this view by default.
  • The "Manage Journal Entries" app operates on the Entry View of documents (CDS view I_JournalEntry), which includes header-level data such as Reference 1 and Reference 2 and line-item data such as Reference 1 ID by Business Partner.
  • The "Display Line Items in General Ledger" app focuses on ledger-specific line-item reporting and excludes these header-level fields.

Resolution

  • Use the "Display Line Item Entry" app (App ID F2218), which is based on the entry view of documents (BKPF and BSEG) and includes CDS view I_JournalEntry, where "Reference 1 ID by Business Partner" is available.
  • If access to the "Reference 1 ID by Business Partner" field is required within the "Display Line Items in General Ledger" app, create a custom field to include the required data.
