1. Error: “Account Determination Not Defined for Transaction” During Asset Posting
Module: FI-AA (Asset Accounting)
Issue: While posting an asset acquisition using transaction code ABZON, the system throws an error: “Account determination not defined for transaction.”
Cause: The account determination configuration for the asset class or transaction type is missing or incomplete in the chart of accounts.
Resolution:
Go to transaction OAKB (IMG path: Financial Accounting > Asset Accounting > Integration with General Ledger > Define How Depreciation Areas Post to G/L).
Verify the depreciation area (e.g., 01) and ensure it’s set to post to the General Ledger.
Navigate to AO90 (Define Account Determination).
Select the relevant Chart of Accounts and Asset Class.
Assign G/L accounts for “Acquisition: Acquis. and Production Costs” (e.g., Asset Reconciliation Account and Offset Account).
Save the configuration and retest the posting in ABZON.
Outcome: The asset acquisition posts successfully without errors.
2. Issue: Duplicate Profit Center Postings in PCA After FI Posting
Module: CO-PCA (Profit Center Accounting)
Issue: After posting a vendor invoice via FB60, duplicate entries appear in Profit Center Accounting (PCA) reports (e.g., S_ALR_87013340).
Cause: Reconciliation accounts (e.g., Vendor Reconciliation G/L) are incorrectly maintained in transaction 3KEH (Default Profit Center Assignment), causing online postings to PCA in addition to periodic transfers via 1KEK.
Resolution:
Go to transaction 3KEH (IMG path: Controlling > Profit Center Accounting > Assignments to CO Objects > Default Account Assignment).
Check if the Vendor Reconciliation G/L account (e.g., 210000) is listed.
Remove the reconciliation account from the list to prevent online postings.
Run 1KEK (Transfer Payables/Receivables to PCA) to ensure periodic postings are correct.
Validate the PCA report (S_ALR_87013340) to confirm no duplicates.
Outcome: Profit Center postings align with FI without duplication.
3. Error: “Period Not Open for Posting” in Transaction FB50
Module: FI-GL (General Ledger)
Issue: When posting a G/L journal entry via FB50, the system displays: “Posting period 03/2025 is not open.”
Cause: The posting period for the company code is closed in the current fiscal year.
Resolution:
Go to transaction OB52 (IMG path: Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Ledgers > Fiscal Year and Posting Periods > Open and Close Posting Periods).
Enter the company code (e.g., 1000).
Check the “From Period” and “To Period” for Account Type “+” (valid for all G/L accounts).
If period 03/2025 is not open, update the “To Period” field to include 03/2025 (e.g., From 01/2025 To 03/2025).
Save changes and retry the posting in FB50.
Outcome: The journal entry posts successfully in the desired period.
4. Issue: Tax Code Not Appearing in Dropdown During Invoice Posting (MIRO)
Module: FI-AP (Accounts Payable)
Issue: While posting a vendor invoice in MIRO, the tax code dropdown is empty or missing expected tax codes.
Cause: The tax code is not assigned to the G/L account or not defined for the company code.
Resolution:
Go to transaction OB40 (IMG path: Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Tax on Sales/Purchases > Calculation > Define Tax Codes for Sales and Purchases).
Select the Chart of Accounts and Transaction Key (e.g., MWS for Output Tax).
Assign the relevant G/L account to the tax code (e.g., Tax Payable G/L 220000 to Tax Code A1).
Verify tax code settings in FTXP (Maintain Tax Code) for the country/company code.
Save and test the invoice posting in MIRO.
Outcome: Tax codes appear in the dropdown and apply correctly.
5. Error: “Cost Center Does Not Exist” During FI Posting
Module: CO-CCA (Cost Center Accounting)
Issue: Posting a G/L entry via F-02 results in: “Cost center 1000/COST001 does not exist on 03/24/2025.”
Cause: The cost center’s validity period does not cover the posting date, or it hasn’t been created.
Resolution:
Go to transaction KS03 (Display Cost Center).
Enter the cost center (e.g., COST001) and company code (e.g., 1000).
If it doesn’t exist, create it using KS01 (Create Cost Center).
Set the validity period (e.g., 01/01/2020 to 12/31/9999) and assign a cost center category.
If it exists, check the validity via KS02 (Change Cost Center) and extend it to include 03/24/2025.
Save and retry the posting in F-02.
Outcome: The cost center is recognized, and the posting completes.
6. Issue: Depreciation Not Posting After Asset Year-End Closing
Module: FI-AA (Asset Accounting)
Issue: Depreciation run (AFAB) for March 2025 fails with no postings after the fiscal year-end close.
Cause: The depreciation area is not set to post periodically, or the fiscal year change hasn’t been executed.
Resolution:
Run AJRW (Fiscal Year Change) for the company code to open the new fiscal year (2025).
Go to OAAQ to check the last closed fiscal year; update if necessary.
In OAYR (Specify Posting Procedures), ensure the depreciation area (e.g., 01) is set to “Periodic Posting.”
Execute AFAB (Depreciation Run) for period 03/2025, selecting “Planned Posting Run.”
Review the posting log for successful G/L updates.
Outcome: Depreciation posts correctly to the G/L.
7. Error: “Currency Translation Ratio Not Maintained” in Foreign Currency Posting
Module: FI-GL (General Ledger)
Issue: Posting a foreign currency invoice in FB60 (e.g., USD to EUR) fails with: “Translation ratio not maintained for USD/EUR.”
Cause: The currency pair’s translation ratio is missing in the system configuration.
Resolution:
Go to transaction OBBS (IMG path: SAP NetWeaver > General Settings > Currencies > Define Translation Ratios).
Check if the USD/EUR pair exists; if not, create it.
Set the ratio (e.g., 1 USD = 1 USD, 1 EUR = 1 EUR) and validity date (e.g., 01/01/2025).
Save and update exchange rates in OB08 (e.g., 1 USD = 0.85 EUR as of 03/24/2025).
Retry the posting in FB60.
Outcome: The foreign currency transaction posts with the correct exchange rate.
8. Issue: Payment Program (F110) Not Picking Up Vendor Invoices
Module: FI-AP (Accounts Payable)
Issue: Running the payment program (F110) does not propose open vendor invoices for payment.
Cause: The payment method or due date parameters are misconfigured, or the vendor master data lacks payment terms.
Resolution:
Go to F110, enter parameters (e.g., Company Code: 1000, Payment Method: C for Check).
Check the “Proposal Log” for errors (e.g., “No payment method in vendor master”).
In XK02 (Change Vendor), update the vendor master (e.g., Vendor 100001) with Payment Terms (e.g., 0001) and Payment Method (C).
Verify invoice due dates in FBL1N match the F110 run date (e.g., 03/24/2025).
Rerun the proposal and post the payment.
Outcome: Invoices are selected and paid successfully.
9. Issue: COPA Report (KE30) Shows Incorrect Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
Module: CO-PA (Profitability Analysis)
Issue: The COGS value in the KE30 profitability report doesn’t match FI postings.
Cause: The value field mapping for COGS in COPA is incorrect or reset for certain billing types.
Resolution:
Go to KE4I (IMG path: Controlling > Profitability Analysis > Flows of Actual Values > Transfer of Billing Documents > Assign Value Fields).
Verify the COGS value field (e.g., VV010) is mapped to the correct condition type (e.g., VPRS).
In KE4W (Reset Value Fields), check if COGS is reset for specific billing types (e.g., Proforma Invoices); remove if unnecessary.
Repost the billing document via KE4S and recheck KE30.
Outcome: COGS aligns between FI and COPA reports.
10. Error: “No Batch Input Data for Screen” in LSMW Upload
Module: FI-GL (General Ledger)
Issue: Uploading G/L master data via LSMW fails with: “No batch input data for screen SAPMF02H 0120.”
Cause: The recording in LSMW doesn’t match the screen sequence, or required fields are missing.
Resolution:
Open the LSMW project and go to “Maintain Object Attributes.”
Review the recording (e.g., via FS00) and ensure all mandatory fields (e.g., G/L Account, Company Code) are included.
In “Maintain Source Fields,” confirm the input file matches the recording structure.
Regenerate the batch input session in “Create Batch Input Session” and execute it in foreground mode to identify the missing screen.
Adjust the recording or data file and rerun the session.
