• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F6091 - '&': Field status (req.entry field) differs from funct. exit (disp. fld) ?

  The SAP error message F6091 indicates a discrepancy between the field status defined in the screen layout and the field status defined in the function exit for a specific field in a financial transaction. This typically occurs in the context of financial document entry, such as when posting invoices or payments.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The field status for a particular field (like a required entry field) is set differently in the configuration (e.g., in the screen layout) compared to what is defined in the function exit (a custom program or enhancement that modifies the behavior of standard SAP transactions).
  For example, if a field is marked as "required" in the screen layout but is set to "optional" or "hidden" in the function exit, this inconsistency triggers the error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the F6091 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Field Status Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the relevant transaction (e.g., using transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to the section for Financial Accounting (FI) and check the field status groups assigned to the relevant transaction.
  Ensure that the field status for the problematic field is consistent with what is expected in the function exit.
  
  
  
  Review Function Exit Code:
  
  If a function exit is being used, review the code in the function exit to see how it is manipulating the field status.
  Ensure that the logic in the function exit aligns with the field status configuration. If the field should be required, make sure the function exit does not override this.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the transaction again to see if the error persists.
  If the error is resolved, document the changes made for future reference.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or the function exit, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Check for Notes:
  
  Sometimes, SAP releases notes or patches that address specific issues. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes related to this error message.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) to check the function exit code or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to review field status groups.
  Field Status Groups: These are defined in the configuration and determine how fields behave in various transactions.
  Function Exits: These are enhancements that allow you to add custom logic to standard SAP processes. They can be found in the SAP enhancement framework.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the F6091 error in your SAP system.
