How To Fix F4691 - Field & not contained in index for G/L accounts (BSIS)

F4691 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: F4 - Line items/balances/configuration

• Message number: 691

• Message text: Field & not contained in index for G/L accounts (BSIS)

What causes this issue?

Field &V1& is not contained in the G/L account item index (table BSIS).
It can, however, be selected as a standard field because it exists in
the customer item or vendor item index. This means that field &V1& is
read automatically from the line item when displaying line items for
G/L account items, whereby variant &V2& becomes a special variant. This
would also be the case if customer items or vendor items were displayed
with this variant. Therefore do not use variant &V2& for customer items
and vendor items.
