You are trying to extend a G/L account to a new company code but are getting an error for incomplete data. All customizable in the field status. Which fields must you always maintain when extending…

Question

Options

• AAccount currency
• BField status group
• CSort key
• DAccount number

• A
  82% (54)
• C
  6% (4)
• D
  12% (8)

Explanation

When extending a G/L account to a new company code in SAP, you are filling in the company code segment of the account, which requires two fields regardless of any field status group settings: Account Currency (A) is mandatory because the system must know which currency to manage postings in for that company code, and Field Status Group (B) is mandatory because it controls which fields are required, optional, or suppressed during document entry - without it, the system cannot determine posting behavior at all.

Sort Key (C) is incorrect because it determines how line items are sorted in the account display and is optional - it can be left blank or inherited. Account Number (D) is incorrect because it belongs to the chart of accounts segment, which already exists before you extend the account; you are not creating or re-entering it during the extension.

Memory tip: Think "CF = Company code Fundamentals" - Currency and Field status group are the two pillars the company code segment cannot stand without.
