Error AC305 and AC306 when customize a balance sheet account

Question

Dear experts,
We have several depreciation areas created for a chart of depreciation.
Some of those depreciation areas do not have account effect but have
fiscal effect. For that reason we have set for them (in AO90
transaction) off sheet balance accounts (memorandum accounts).
The problem is that in the country we are working memorandum accounts are not P&L accounts.
When we try to customize then as Expense account for ordinary
depreciation the system displays the following errors:
Message no. AC305- Account GBCL-6400640010 not allowed to be balance
sheet account
Message no. AC306- Account GBCL-6400640010 not defined as
P6400640010L account
Our users told us that those memorandum accounts must be B/S
accounts and never P/L accounts in this country.
Obviously we could change error messages AC305 and AC306 as warnings,
but I was wondering if another solution could be possible.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
U cannot assign a balancesheet account for depreication
I dont understand why they want B/S account there because it cannot record expenses.
The only solutionn is changing message as u have said..
We annot change the accounting rule
