ICR Process 003 - Running Data Selection for Accounts without a Group CoA

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

I am getting an error "Account 'CoCode'/xxxxxxxxxxx: Group Account Number could not be determined" on the reconciliation of some accounts when I run FBICS3.

Currently, the operating chart of accounts is not assigned to a Group Chart of Accounts. This may change after Go Live u2013 for instance due to consolidation requirements. But for now we are without group CoA.

I am wondering if this is a requirement for the ICR program to have this field active on the GL master data and populated?

If not, is it possible then to switch off the error message or change the settings somewhere so that the error is not generated?

How will this effect accounts without a group account number?

I've included a link a screenshot below

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Mateus,

Thanks for your assistance. I was able to change the error messge to a notification or have it not appear with your instrutions.

I am wondering what the impact of this error is. If Group account number cannot be deteremined for certain accounts, how will this impact interompany reconciliations?

Thanks,

John Scime

Hi John,

The note was created for customers who want to include open items from GL accounts in the reconciliation process.

If you want to transfer the operative account number instead of the group account number this note applies to your case and you can customize the message according to your requirements.

I hope the note meets your business requirements.

A good hint I can give you is to also review SAP Note 1267185:

An excellent source of information is the SAP Community Network (SDN) where we have engaged our customers and helped them with advice regarding questions they have about SAP Intercompany Reconciliation:

Hello John,

The impact is that you will have operative account numbers in your reconciliation system instead of group account numbers. If you are running ICR across different systems with different operative charts of accounts the account number will not help you analyze the business background of the posting based on the account number. Also, you will not be able to set up object groups based on account numbers. For open items this is not a big deal because ususally all you need to have is the correct amount with the correct sign for things to match up. The sign determines whether you are looking at payables or receivables.

In process 002 you may want to differentiate between different accounts, e.g. software revenue, software expenses, license revenue, license expenses, etc. The only way to create these object groups properly is if you have account numbers to base the category on. So for process 002 it would be much more important to know what the account number really means.

Best regards,

Ralph
