  Hello, to create a new data entry variant for G/L account postings in SAP with additional fields such as the "partner company" field (VBUND), you need to make sure that this field is made available for the corresponding transaction. Here are the steps you should check and perform to extend the list of fields: 1. Check Field Status Groups: First, you should check the field status group assigned to the G/L account used. To do this, go to the customizing part and navigate to: Financial Accounting (New) -> General Ledger Accounting (New) -> G/L Accounts -> Master Data -> Define Field Status -> Maintain Field Status Group. Here you can adjust the settings for the field status group of the account in question and make sure that the field "VBUND" is set as optional, required or displayed. 2. Adjust entry layout: For the entry variant, you need to adjust the entry layout to include the desired field. Navigate to: Financial accounting -> General ledger -> Documents -> Entry variants -> Define entry variants. Here you can create a new entry variant or customize an existing one. Check whether the "VBUND" field is available in the list. If not, it may be necessary to extend the list. 3. Extending the field list: If "VBUND" is not available in the list, it may be necessary to have an ABAP developer make an adjustment to make the field technically available. This can be done by modifying or enhancing the corresponding SAP standard code. It is advisable to discuss this step with your SAP Basis or development team. 4. Documentation and testing: After the changes have been implemented, document all customizations carefully and perform extensive testing to ensure that the booking processes work as expected and that no unexpected side effects occur. If you do not have direct access to the customizing options or need assistance with technical adjustments, it is advisable to contact your SAP support team or a consultant to achieve the best possible solution.

  Hello,

  The field is there and already in use. That is not the problem.

  I would like to add it to a data entry variant, analogous to cost center.
