Hi Keshma,

Go to t-code OB53 (Retained Earninga account)

Under P & L statement enter X

under Account - enter any GL or something 1010100

and SAVE it. Again dont forget to save it.

You will not get the error

Make sure that your account number is in the range defined in the OBD4 for the PL accounts.

pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

Hi Dave,

This error message I am getting while creating G/L a/c 'No PKAZL statement account type is defined in chart of account KAZ'.

Also when I am trying OB53 (Retained Earninga account)

Under P & L statement enter X

under Account - enter any GL 500000

the error message i get is 'Account 500000 not created in chart of accounts KAZ'.

Thanks,

Keshma.

In OB53 put on X in the first column. Save the data. Force it through the warning. Now create your RE account. Come back to OB53 and put in your GL account for RE.

Hi Dave,

Can you please explain what does 'Force it through the warning' means? As it is not accepting the request to save. I did exactly the way you suggested.

Thanks,

Keshma.

I faced similar problem too. After saving you get the warning message. Click on the Green check mark on the toolbar. You will now get the message "Changes have been made"

Hi Keshma,

First Check that have created account groups. And now go to OB53 and give X in first column and any new account number second column, now when u will press enter a warning will come saying that this account number does not exist, ignore that message and click on save button and press enter.

I think this will work.

Hi Dave,

I have done all that were required and I was able to save the RE accounts, but could still not see it in my chart of accounts and I need to assign this to my P & L accounts. Please what else am i missing now?

Hi

How did you determine that it was not in the chart of accounts?

[Former Member]

Hi Deepa,

I ran report S_ALR_87012326 and could not see it in my chart of account?

Hi Yomi

Have you created the Re account in GL Master?

Hi Deepa,

I am not sure that I understand what you mean, since I would not be able to use this Retained Earnings accounts for any of my company codes because it is not in my chart of accounts. In case you misread my RE to mean reconciliation account? - I am referring to RE - Retained Earnings account. Thanks
