PR and G/L & WBS problem

Question

Hi,
I am doing me51n to create a PR against a project, i have put these fields in:
item
acct. assignment category
material
plant storage location
quantity
WBS element
G/L account
i am getting this error:
G/L account 400005 cannot be used (please correct)
Message no. ME045
Diagnosis
Comparison of the field selection strings from the G/L account 400005 and the account assignment category P reveals that there is an incompatible combination of field selections for the field selection group 'Network'.
The G/L account field selection is stored in table T004F; that for the account assignment is stored in table T162K.
Procedure
Please enter a correct G/L account.
Please provide some solution.
Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi
Step 1: In FS00 - G/L accounts are assigned with Field Status Groups in Create / Bank / Interest Tab. Please note which Field Status group that was maintained.
Step 2: Go to SPRO-->Fina. Accounting (New) ->FI Global Setting (New)> Ledger> Fields>Define Filed Status Variants.
Here you select the the status variant maintained in that above G/L account. Inside see which Account Assignemet Category is maintained as "Supress / Req. Entry / Optional". In your case it seems it would have maintained as Network but you were assigning as WBS.
Hope it helps
