Symptom
- The header-level field “Purchase Trans. Type” for supplier invoices is needed when posting via the Journal Entry API.
- After downloading the WSDL from the communication arrangement and reviewing the service structure, the “Purchase Trans. Type” field is not present in the exposed service definition.
- Clarification is requested on whether the field is supported, whether any configuration/scope activation/version update is needed, or if an alternative API exists to populate it.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Download the WSDL for the Journal Entry Post - API from the relevant communication arrangement.
- Inspect the service structure for header-level fields.
- Observe that a field labeled “Purchase Trans. Type” is not listed.
Resolution
The field "Purchase Trans. Type" is for Chile. Its technical name is `GLO_REF2_HD`, but it appears under a different label "Country/Region Specific Reference 2" in MIRO.
The field "Country/Region Specific Reference 2" is supported in multiple APIs, including Journal Entry - Post (Synchronous) API, Journal Entry - Change (Asynchronous) API, and Supplier Invoice API.
