In the coding block of the system you can create your own fields. The new coding fields can then be used in FI General Ledger accounts, MM Inventory Management and MM Purchasing, and are also updated in the line items created in the Controlling applications.
These fields can then be used to input data you want to record when entering documents in SAP.
Activity Edit Coding Block
Path IMG -> Financial Accounting (NEW) -> Financial Account Basic Setting (New) -> Ledgers -> Fields -> Customer Fields (OXK3)
In the below example, we are going to be adding a field to record the “Users HR ID”. This will be updated by the user when entering the document in the user, with his/her own HR ID.
Note : It is vital that the fields to be added in the Coding Block be decided before hand and the relevant modification made before other customization efforts, since adding a new field will update the tables in SAP.
Step 1 : Add Field
Step 2 : Enter the Development Class and the Field attributes.
Step 3 : Execute in “Test Run” to check for any errors.
Step 4: Create a Coding Block Field and save the Transport Request ID. This would be a workbench request.
Step 5 : Next make the FIELD as Optional/ Mandatory in the Field Status of the Posting Key and the Field Group.
And that’s it, now you would get this field every time you enter a transaction for this posting key and the account with the field status group to which this field has been made available.
