    SAP Note

    328788 - Reference field is filled with 0000000000


    Component: XX-CSC-CN (China), Version: 11, Released On: 14.11.2003

    Symptom
    The reference number in an SD document is filled with zeros although the customizing of the
    copy control should result in filling this field with e.g. the SD document number.

    Other Terms
    China; Peru; Chile; Reference number; Invoice; Official number

    Reason and Prerequisites


    This note is only valid for company codes in China, Chile and Peru. This note is only valid
    for Releases 4.6B and higher.
    Due to legal requirements in China, Chile and Peru, every invoice issued by the company
    should have assigned an external reference number (the number of the preprinted invoice).
    The number of each invoice has to be saved in the system for reporting purposes. Starting
    with R/3 release 4.6B, SAP offers the functionality to print the invoices and to store the
    official document number in VBRK-XBLNR field (transaction IDCP). The print handling program
    requires the value of the VBRK-XBLNR field to be zeroes for unprinted invoices.
    If you do not use SAP printing functionality (transaction IDCP) and wish to use the
    reference field for other purposes, you have to apply the source code changes given below.

    Solution
    Release 4.7 (Enterprise)
    If you are using the release 4.70, please apply the source code corrections described below,
    or implement the indicated support package. The corrections are only relevant for Chinese
    company codes, and will allow to control the initialization of the field reference document
    number using the customizing of FI document types, as described in the OSS Note 571376. For
    other countries using the preprinted forms concept this functionality is already active with
    the implementation of the OSS Note 571376 (or the corresponding support package).
    Releases up to 4.6C
    In case you are using a lower release, please adapt the source code changes described below
    in the text of this note. These changes will prevent the filling the reference field (VBRK-
    XBLNR) with zeroes and will allow your customizing settings to take effect.

    ************************************************************************
    Please note that the changes described below will not be delivered in a support package!
    ************************************************************************
    1. Start the ABAP function module editor (transaction SE37) and select the function
    module OFF_NUMBER_GLOBAL_DEFAULTS for editing.
    2. Locate the code section in the CASE statement for your country. Currently the
    following sections are relevant:
    WHEN LAND1-CHINA. for China
    WHEN LAND1-CHILE. for Chile
    WHEN LAND1-PERU. for Peru
    1. Within this section, find the line of code
    O_XBLNR = NOT_PRINTED.
    and deactivate it (insert a comment character or just delete the line).
    1. In case your company code is located in China, please repeat the steps described
    above also for function module OFF_NUMBER_GLOBAL_NUMBERING.
    2. In case you want to allow users to enter values in field XBLNR, you have to edit the
    function modules:
    OFF_NUMBER_LOCAL_SCREEN_CN for China
    OFF_NUMBER_LOCAL_SCREEN_CLPE for Peru and Chile
    in the following way:
    a) Find the section of the code dealing with the screen parameters for the XBLNR
    field:
    O_INPUT = . . .
    O_OUTPUT = . . .
    O_INVISIBLE = . . .
    a) Correct the value for O_INPUT parameter according to your requirements (MOD_OFF
    means input is disabled, MOD_ON means input is enabled).
