Request Journal

Use

You can use this function to select documents from specific requests, which share common criteria that you have defined. If you have called the request journal using a request maintenance transaction (for example, Release Acceptance Request), you can select and process documents from the list displayed.

Features

During document selection, the program searches the system for FI documents, which match the selection criteria you have entered. This procedure means that not all FI documents belonging to a request are listed. Since the activities display, release, post, and print always relate to a request document, the request documents in these cases are processed together with all of the corresponding FI documents. This is also the case when FI documents belong to the request but were not included in the original selection.

FI document numbers as well as the corresponding request numbers (lot numbers) are listed in the list output.

The list output is based on the ABAP list viewer (ALV). This tool allows you to adjust the list output according to your requirements. The Display Variant is especially useful for this as it can be used to include new fields or delete existing fields. The display variant can be stored as of Release 4.01a. For more detailed information on the functions of the ALV, see ABAP List Viewer.

    Note Note

    To improve system performance, your selection should be as specific as possible.
