Summary :
When attempting to add a default field to the new general ledger accounting tables using transaction FAGL_GINS, the field may not be available, and error GH 701 could occur. This limitation stems from SAP's design to only include certain default fields in FAGLFLEXT to prevent performance issues during end-of-period operations and reporting due to excessive totals records. Consultations with SAP consultants are advised to evaluate the impact of such additions and determine their feasibility. Adding fields requires careful consideration of performance and may involve opening a customer message for further SAP assistance and validation of the proposed modifications.

Key words :
