FI-SL Master Data: Field Movements 

Use

In addition to setting up special purpose ledgers and companies, you must also define field movement information. Field movements determine which dimensions are used within the FI-SL System. You use these dimensions to define your special purpose ledger(s). You cannot define field movements for standard ledgers that are defined in other applications.

Naming convention: You must use a letter as the first character of a user-defined field movement name (for example, R000, M001). If your system currently contains field movements defined with a number as the first character, contact your SAP consultant for assistance.

For more information about defining field movements, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Special Purpose Ledger.

Features

You can also determine if CO information from FI/MM/SD is to be posted as actual or statistical data. You define this information per field within a field movement. For each field in the field movement, you can enter a standard exit, which determines whether you want to take over actual data only or also statistical data.

For the field Project, you enter a standard exit so that only actual data is taken over for this field.

User Exits in Field Movements

Within field movements, you can also enter user exits. In previous releases, user exits for field movements were stored in the following programs:

Beginning with Release 3.0, you can define your own user exit programs. If you create a user exit program, this program name must be defined in the table for client-dependent user exits (table T80D) in Customizing. (For more information, see the Maintain Client-Dependent User Exits step in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Special Purpose Ledger.) If you do not change table T80D, the exit programs RGIFU000 and RGIVUxxx are used.
