3756656 - G/L Account Search by Description Not Supported in Create Incoming Invoices and Create Outgoing Invoices

When adding G/L account items in the "Create Incoming Invoice" (FB60) or "Create Outgoing Invoices" (FB70) app, searching for G/L accounts based on their description returns no results or fails to fetch account details despite the description being correctly maintained in G/L master data.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Open the Create Incoming Invoices app (FB60).
2. In the line item, place the cursor in the G/L Account field.
3. Type or search using the G/L account description text.
4. Observe that no matching G/L account is returned.
5. Verify in G/L master data that the account’s description is correctly maintained.

This is the current standard system behavior.

GUI-based applications such as Create Incoming Invoices (FB60) and Create Outgoing Invoices (FB70) do not support searching G/L accounts by description or long text in the G/L Account field.

Only search by G/L account number is supported in these applications.

This behavior differs from some SAP Fiori applications, where search by description may be available.

1. Enter the G/L account number directly in FB60/FB70, or select the account using the number-based value help.
2. To locate an account by description, first search the G/L master data to identify the account number, then use that number in FB60/FB70.
