SAP Message no FH602 & FH511

[Former Member]

I created GL Master "Current Account" under Account Group - P&L Statement acct.

Now when i'm tying to change the Account Group, it gives me two error message

1. Change Balance Sheet control inspite of account balance. (Message no FH602)

2. The data contains error, you cannot save. (Message no FH511)

Now, in Transaction Code OBA5, when i gave Application Area: FH

- For Message no 602, i'm unable to change Standard error from Error (E) to W (Warning). the filed is not allowing me to edit.

- Message no 511 is not available

How to resolve this issue ??

You will not be able to change a P&L account to balance sheet or vice-versa since the account has a balance. Why would you want to do that? Have you thought about the impact on retained earnings account? Here is the detailed FH602 message.

Change balance sheet control in spite of account balance

Message no. FH602

Diagnosis

You have changed the G/L account from a "balance sheet account" to a

"P&L account" or conversely.

The balance of the account is, however, not zero.

Procedure

Check your entries.

If the G/L account was already posted in the previous year, execute the

balance carryforward again for the current fiscal year. (program

SAPF011).

System is not letting you change the message in OBA5 as it does not want you to. Please follow the fix suggested in the detailed message above (running balance carryforward to rollover your P&L balances into the retained earnings account).

FH511 is just saying that you cannot save the account due to error FH602. It is not maintainable in OBA5. It does not show up in OBA5 since it is not set as a configurable system message in table T100S.
