Customer Field 

Definition

A customer field is a database table field that is created and defined by the customer.

Use

You can include your own fields (such as the field Region) in the data structure of General Ledger Accounting. To do so, you have to make various Customizing settings. For more information, see Defining Customer Fields.

During posting, you can fill your customer fields in the following ways:

·        Automatic Derivation

You can have the system derive your customer fields automatically for all postings that are relevant for General Ledger Accounting.

·        Manual Posting

In the G/L account posting functions delivered in General Ledger Accounting, you find your customer fields as account assignment objects. For these fields to be available in the G/L account posting (Enjoy) as well, you need to assign your customer fields to the entry variant that you use during posting. For this, choose in Customizing General Ledger Accounting (New) ® Business Transactions ® G/L Account Posting - Enjoy ® Include Customer Fields in Enjoy Transactions.

In other application components (such as Logistics and Controlling), however, you cannot make postings directly to your customer fields.
