Unusual Error in G/L account creation because of "Post Automatically only"

[Former Member]

Hi,

While creating G/L account, I am facing typical Error. Please find below sequence of activities I did.

1) Given G/L account number and company code on first pop Up

2) Went to Create/Bank/Interest Tab and gave Field status group

3) Came to Type/Description tab and given account group

4) Came back to Create/Bank/Interest tab.

5) Now I am not able to change tab. If i click on any tab, it gives message "Fill in all required entry fields" and this is coming because I didn't check marked the "Post Automatically only" tab.

If I check mark the "Post Automatically only" tab, i am able to move across tab and error message doesn't comes.

As per my requirement, I do not wish to check mark the "Post Automatically only" tab.

Why Error is coming? What should i do?

Thanks,

The solution lied in Permissions maintained at transaction Display, Create, Modify level for the fields

Hi Raju,

Follow this sequence:

1) Given G/L account number and company code

2) Type/Description tab - give account group and descp

3) Go to Control data tab - give currency, tax category, recon account, line item, sort key, etc

4) Go to Create/Bank/Interest Tab and gave Field status group

Now save.

Assign points if useful.

Hi,

Pritam ... Sequence is not my problem ... I have written the sequence so as to clarify what exactly i am facing ... Even if i follow yours, same problem comes....

Rajan ... Regarding your first point, its optional (i had already checked it before)

Regarding your 2nd point, if thats points to Tcode shd0, I had also checked this. There is no entry for FS00 here

Thanks,

Hi Raju,

The 2nd point I was mentioning is available through config..

this is available just below the define account groups node in SPRO, under define screen layout for additional activities..!!

Cheers,

In Document Entry, following are settings -

---

Field Status Group : Required

Post Automatically only : Optional

So the problem shouldn't come But i am getting Error

Hi,

The field status of G/L accounts are controlled at two places,

1) At account group level, (check for the particular account group whether this field has been made mandatory or not)

2) At the transaction level, (here transaction does not mean the regular FI document transactions... but the create G/l, Change G/l, Display G/l through FS00 each activity is called as a transaction with regard to the master data maintenance here also when you create the G/L accounts the field status need to be checked if it is made mandatory or not.

The field status of any field in the G/l master would be the compound setting of both the above areas.. and the ranking order logic would be SDRO - Suppress, Display, Required and Optional.

If in either of the places 1) or 2) if the field status is made Suppress in one and Optional in the other then Suppress prevails... similarly other combinations too work.

Please check and revert.

Cheers,

Rajan.
