Substitution was defined wrongly by the implementation Consultants.

If you define document splitting criteria based on Profit Center and if your billing document contains multiple line items with different profit center, this type of error will come.

To check this, Go to IMG Path -- Financial Accounting (New) --> General Ledger Accounting (New) --> Document Splitting --> Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger

There check whether the mandatory check box is selected for profit Center. So check in your billing document, whether any line item does not have profit center.

thanks

Hi,

Please check the posting keys used in the posting and see the field status of those keys and ensure 'business area' field is maintained as optional. ( for GL--CST)

Hope this will help you to resolve your issue
