  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR621 - Specify fields for line structure & ?

    SAP Error Message:
    VR621 - Specify fields for line structure &


    Cause:

    This error occurs when you are working with a document or configuration that requires you to define or specify the fields for a line structure, but these fields have not been properly maintained or specified. The system expects you to assign or define the fields that make up the line item structure, and since this is missing or incomplete, it throws the error.

    Typically, this happens in scenarios involving:

    • Customizing or defining document line item structures in Logistics (e.g., SD billing documents, MM invoice verification, or FI documents).
    • When setting up or modifying the line item structure in the IMG (Implementation Guide).
    • When working with user exits, BAdIs, or custom programs that require line structure field definitions.

    Where it commonly appears:

    • In customizing under Financial Accounting (FI) or Sales and Distribution (SD) when defining document structures.
    • During configuration of line item display or line item processing.
    • In billing document or accounting document line item structure definitions.
    • When using transaction codes related to document structure maintenance, e.g., OBYC, VFX3, or custom transactions.

    Solution:

    1. Check the line structure definition:

      • Go to the relevant IMG node where the line structure is defined.
      • For example, in SD billing or FI document structure, verify that the fields for the line structure are properly specified.
      • Ensure that all mandatory fields are assigned.
    2. Maintain the required fields:

      • Use the customizing transaction or IMG path to specify the fields.
      • For example, in SD billing document structure, use transaction VFX3 or IMG path: SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing Documents -> Define Line Item Structure
      • Assign the necessary fields to the line structure.
    3. Check for missing or incorrect configuration:

      • If this error occurs during document processing, check if the document type or item category requires a line structure that is not yet defined.
      • Correct the configuration accordingly.
    4. Review custom code or enhancements:

      • If the error arises in a custom program or user exit, check the code where the line structure fields are expected.
      • Make sure the code correctly specifies or passes the required fields.
    5. Transport and system consistency:

      • Sometimes, missing transports or incomplete configuration in the system can cause this.
      • Verify that all relevant customizing is transported and consistent.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction codes: VFX3, OBYC, OBBH (for document structure maintenance)
    • IMG Paths:
      • Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Document -> Line Item Display
      • Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing Documents -> Define Line Item Structure
    • SAP Notes: Search SAP Service Marketplace or SAP ONE Support Launchpad for message VR621 for any specific notes or patches.
    • Debugging: If the error occurs in a program, debug to see where the line structure fields are expected and why they are missing.

    Summary:

    • Cause: Missing or incomplete specification of fields for a line item structure in document or configuration.
    • Solution: Define and maintain the required fields for the line structure in the relevant customizing or program.
    • Check: IMG customizing, document type/item category settings, and custom code.
