Q: Can via T.Code FBL1N by selecting vendor with plant reference in selection using search help field group.

Plant is not a field for finance or in sap it is FI module - this is for PP and MM module, In case required, please define that as FI object for FI reports - like BA and so on. Configure the plant as a BA and in all FI places you can capture BA in line items of vendors.

Spent little time on going through various standard reports of SAP which are very rich in itself - for each report it has options of all fields of master data , all fields of FI document means around in my opinion around 400+ options to select. Hence we should first get an idea of fields in masters and documents and how they are updated.

To become a good consultant.... Every report of SAP standard is a gem - but we always look for FAST FOOD without understanding the quality of how standard is the solutions..

Spent time in understanding - there are lot of chapters available for reading . Suggestions ... Understand the Finance function first upto closing of books and management reportings done in a practical way. Go to sap img screen - you will find all options are there... If you go reverse way , sitting inside the car and asking - anyone can help me in understanding what is the wheel in front of driver used and how to use it??

All the best - take it in the right spirit for a successful future
