Symptom
- Guidance requested on extending the Manage Substitution/Validation Rules app to support G/L master data business context.
- Previously possible approaches in ECC or S/4HANA on-premise lead to the question whether similar validation/substitution on G/L master data can be enabled in public cloud.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
Functionality is not available by design the Manage Substitution/Validation Rules app in public cloud does not provide a business context for G/L master data, and substitution of G/L account or amount is not supported.
Resolution
- Acknowledge that in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition the Manage Substitution/Validation Rules app cannot be extended to G/L master data; substitution of G/L account or amount is not supported by design.
- Note that there is currently no BAdI available in public cloud to implement validations for creation or change of G/L master data.
- If this capability is required, submit a feature request via the Customer Influence program; refer to: KBA 2963059.
- For background on the current design and restrictions, refer to: KBA 3647087 and KBA 2815480.
