Error while releasing Billing Doc to Accounting

[Former Member]

Hi all

I am gettin the following error while releasing a Billing doc to FI-

Reconciliation account 240001 or short key 00 is not permitted

The Billing doc pertains to Export sales and the billing Doc type is Export Invoice. However the Customer Recon A/c is defined as 240000 which is for Domestic Sales. A/c 240001 stands for Export Sales. I am wondering why it is asking for the Export Sales Recon a/c. Does this has something to do with Alternative Recon A/c? Should I set an Alternative Recon A/c and check this? If yes, then should it be defined in SD or FI?

If any1 has come across this prob, plzz help me.

Thxs for ur replies.

Yes ravi, I think there is a clash of accounts in OV64. The customer is assigned the recon a/c 240000. However in the sales order, the distt channel is 11 which is for exports. ow when i see the Distt Channel Recon in OV64, it is 240001. Hence, it is askin for the Recon A/c 240001.

But now, wat can be done in this case?

Hi,

1. Cancel the invoice.

2. Change the Customer recon account.

3. Raise the Invoice.

4. As mentioned earlier, for your domestic customer, use recon a/c 240000 and for export customer recon a/c 240001

Thanks & Regards,

Hi ,

In this case you need to change the recon acct through XD02 in the customer master from 240000 to 240001 for that Sal org and distribution channel and save the changes. After that release the billing document to accounting through VF02.

Hi ,

You can check transaction OV64 there the Recon GL accounts assigned to Sal org and distribution channel or Sal org.

I think the GL acct assigned in OV64 is 240001 and Recon acct in customer master is 240000 . The error is due to mismatch between OV64 assignment and Recon acct in Cust master.The system picks up the GL acct assigned in OV64 for the respective Sorg.

Yes, 240001 is a Balance Sheet A/c and it is a Recon A/c for Customers. It is an Export Sales A/c.

But this customer is for both domestic and exposrt sales. If we are going to assign the A/c 240001 to it, then how r we going to account for domestic sales?

Thanks for confirmation.

Let us assume that the company is in India. Hence customers address having country as India are doemstic customers, whereas other than India are Export customer. Hence while creating customer master, the person needs to take care while giving the recon account or you can specify the validation or subsitution rule to that effect. Before this, please once again take the confirmation from the SD consultant about the mapping.

Assign points, if found helpful.

Hi,

Please check account 240001 is a balance sheet account or P&L. If the same is a recon balance sheet account, then the customer master should be created with that account. Currently as mentioned by you, it seems that customer master has recon account as 240000 and hence the error. Please change the master to 240001 and try.

Hi,

Also check with the SD person as he must have configured that all foreign debtors should be posted to 240001. If yes, then all foreign customer master should be opened with the recon account 240001.
