This blog post is to provide a perspective of  display of Special Fields in FBL1N, FBL3N, FBL5N reports in your converted SAP S/4HANA.

You would have configured special fields using transaction O7R3, example provided in the below screen shot in your SAP ERP.

Background:

3. 

Solution:

1. Use Transaction code: SE37
2. Enter the functional module name: ITEM_STRUC_EXTENSION
3. Execute with the following parameter value
   1. 1. BASIC_STRUCNAME:   FAGLPOSY
      2. EXT_STRUCNAME   :    FAGLPOSYEXT
      3. EXT_FIELDS_TABNAME T021S
      4. I_LSTCL                            D
      5. X_TRANSPORT                ‘ ‘

After executing this function module, the structure would be regenerated correctly.

In certain constellations, the routine AFTER-IMPORT for the table T021S for generating the special fields may not be started correctly. After executing the function module as mentioned above, the structure should be regenerated correctly.
