Accounting Interface error HKONT

Question

A debit memo ******495 was created on 12/03/2009. The accounting document had output tax account ****4400.
This was cancelled. Cancellation invoice *****8865. The cancellation invoice is getting an error in accounting "error: HKONT not equal to ****4405" I checked output tax in OB40 and FTXP for account key MWS and tax code S4 (as per condition type JRC1). Account is *****4405. This was changed from ****4400 to ****4405 after the original debit memo was created.
Changing it back only for this invoice cacellation is not an option.
Can someone give a work around to cancell the original debit memo. OR I might be totally wrong about the root cause.

Hi Sandeep,
As you have already stated the tax account was changed between invoice
and cancellation.
Since we convert only the documents during the cancellation, the system
tries to post to the original account.
Since meanwhile, however, the tax account was changed in the FTXP,
the system runs into the FF 804 error during the check.
You have 2 possibilities:
1. Changing the tax account to the FTXP back to the original and
posting this one cancellation.
2. Working with the old cancellation procedure (SAP Note 339928) and
then putting the flag "rule_new_cancel" on A.
Please also review the SAP Notes 400766 and 400000.
I hope the information is helpful in resolving the issue.
Cheers,
Alex
