MIGO Error - Posting to GL account marked as Automatic Posting

496 Views

Dear Users

When I try to post a document to Finance GL (which has automatic posting configured) using T-Code MIGO, the system gives an error message as follows:

"No direct posting possible to G/L account xxxxxxx in CoCode xxxxxx".

Message no. ME038

"Diagnosis

The G/L account you entered is a control account. Transactions cannot be posted direct to a control account.

Procedure

Check your input.

Inform the individual or section responsible for G/L accounts in the relevant company code."

The account determination is happenning through OBYC setting under GBB - VBR, then why is this error message getting generated?

The posting is an automatic posting per say. Further, I would like to mention that the account was made as automatic posting after the PO was created. Can this be the reason for the error? I doubt !

Also, the GL account is not a Reconciliation account nor is a Balance Sheet Account. It is actually a P&L account.

In fact, this message is also thrown at the time of creation of Purchase Order itself, with Account Assignment Category 'Q' - i.e., Projects.

Regards

Abhishek Kumar
