Thanks for sharing useful information. Would like to know about replication to S/4 . Whether the standard IDOC / Web- services extended with new fields or we have to extend it to incorporate these additional fields?
Hi Kiran,
The new field replication is supported for IDOC. Please refer to the below note, the field should be available in SKA1 segment of GLMAST idoc.
3089139 - IDOC GLMAST does not contain the fields SKA1-GLACCOUNT_SUBTYPE and MAIN_SAKNR
For webservice the new field will be added to ChartOfAccountsReplicationRequest_Out .
In case there is an issue in replicating cash accounts please check below note.
