3788296 - Item Text Not Carried to Simulation and Error "Field 'Text' Is Required"(F5808) in Post General Journal Entries App

 SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Open the “Post General Journal Entries” app and enter a journal entry with line items.
2. Maintain Item Text on the affected line item(s).
3. Choose Simulate and observe that Item Text is not shown in the Simulation screen.
4. Attempt to post and encounter the error: “Field ‘Text’ is a required field for G/L account.”

A custom logic implementation for Journal Entry Substitution (BAdI) treats 'Item Text' as a changing parameter and clears it during simulation/posting, which removes the provided text.

1. Open the “Custom Logic” app.
2. Locate active implementations of the Journal Entry Substitution BAdI for journal entries.
3. Open the implementation and choose Open Code Editor.
4. Use Test , then Changing Parameters to verify that Item Text is defined as a changing parameter and is being overwritten or cleared.
5. Adjust the logic so that Item Text is preserved when provided or temporarily disable the BAdI in a test environment 
6. Publish the corrected implementation.
7. Test again in the “Post General Journal Entries” app: enter Item Text, simulate, and post to confirm the text is retained and no error occurs.
