Hi,
The error F5354 is not an unknown error:                               
Please check your account determination in AO90 as this error is a     
typical customizing error.                                                                               
Please be aware, that certain accounts cannot be reconciliation        
accounts but are 'normal' GL accounts. That is an important reason why 
this error does show.                                                                               
Since the upgrade, the system checks now some account controls and that
is why you get the error message now (even if it was working before    
with the same customizing and even if this account is not directly used
in the current transaction).                                                                               
You may want to review the FI-AA consistency report re G/L Accounts:   
IMG Path:                                                              
FI-AA -> Preparing for Production Startup -> Check Consistency         
-> Consistency Report: Asset G/L Accounts (tx OAK4 = program RACKONT1),
here you will find the same error messages as in AFAB.                                                                               
As per note 7595 indicates:                                                                               
The balance sheet accounts and the accumulated depreciation accounts   
must be characterized as reconciliation accounts of account type 'A'.  
Down payment account KTANZA must also be a reconciliation account      
of account type 'A'. The clearing account for down payments KTANZG     
must not be set up as a reconciliation account.                                                                               
Error message F5345 indicates that's you are using reconciliation      
accounts in a depr. area which doesn't post online (T093-BUHBKT > '1') 
So, if the accumulated depreciation account is a reconciliation account
it is fine. The problem must be found somewhere else. Maybe the account
is also used for a concept where non-reconciliation accounts are needed
(for example and offsetting account or a clearing account).                                                                               
Please check table T095 in the account determination for revaluation.  
The field KTAUFW is defined like KTANSW with the reconcilation account.
That is correct as they are balance sheet accounts.                                                                               
But the contra account must not be the same, because when posting      
revaluation the system try to post                                     
with posting key 70/75 KTAUFW against 50/40 KTAUFG.                    
The problem is that reconciliation account can only be posted          
with posting key 70 / 75.                                              
So you have to change the contra accounts.
