Summary :
When using SAP G/L accounting, it is crucial to avoid non-unique field names in the CI_COBL customer include, especially those prefixed with 'ZZ+' attached to standard SAP names. Such naming practices can lead to ambiguity and incorrect data categorization between standard and custom fields. Fields in CI_COBL are grouped into three categories: Category 1 fields are default SAP fields used in new G/L accounting; Category 2 fields are standard but not in FAGLFLEXT, and can use options from FAGL_OPT_FIELDS; Category 3 fields are completely customer-specific. Always use distinct naming for customer fields to ensure clear differentiation and avoid conflicts in data handling.
