XD01 assertion failed error while updating customer master data

Question

Hi Guys,
This is an error when I use transaction XD01 to create customers accounts, If you have any ideas do let me and we'll try it....
The error does not let an BDC or LSMW progress as well. There are also no recent sap notes on the same.
The error is as follow
ASSERTION_FAILED
Short text
The ASSERT condition was violated.
What happened?
In the running application program, the ASSERT statement recognized a
situation that should not have occurred.
The runtime error was triggered for one of these reasons:
- For the checkpoint group specified with the ASSERT statement, the
activation mode is set to "abort".
- Via a system variant, the activation mode is globally set to "abort"
for checkpoint groups in this system.
- The activation mode is set to "abort" on program level.
- The ASSERT statement is not assigned to any checkpoint group.
What can you do?
Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
administrator.
Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
at and manage termination messages, and you can also
keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
The following checkpoint group was used: "No checkpoint group specified"

I have a company code CG01 with sales organization CTS0 and I want to transfer or extend all the customer master data to another company code CG03 with the sales organization CTS0
The things that I have tried and not work
using xd01, fd15, fd16, fd01, does not wok and gives the error as above
The things that I have tried and it works
Change the sales organization from CTS0 to CTS1 I am able to post the customer master data, using any of the above tcodes and it does not give any error, however the client wants to sales organization to remain CTS0
So please give me any ideas as per your experience as this transfer of master data has to happen by Monday, else I'll be fried by my boss

Then you are best person to explain the reason on why the same sales organization, can't be assigned to different company codes. When a sales is done through one sales organization, then will the  profit/loss be accounted in different company codes. Is it legally allowed in the country, where your customer is doing business? How you are going to develop the  balance sheet? Again being the FI person, you are best judge to provide the details to your customer and not a SD guy.

I dont see any other method than removing the assignments in the backend and uploading the data. You can consult a Basis person to find the  change logs for the assignment table. In my opinion, removing the sales organization from a company code assignment just for loading a customer master data and then reassigning to original sales org is  a crooked method and/or not a professional method.

As explained above, how the sales will be accounted  in different company codes (even if the system allows  to assign the same sales org to different company codes)?
I would recommend you to post this question in FI forum (after closing here) to check what are the legal implications for this scenario.
