hi

dear experts we are facing a big issue since couple of days when we define rate in EA31 the following error creating problem . in main and sub transaction level we assigned for 100 main sub 0001 & 0002 for internal assignment, and 0010 & 0020 for normal external assignment we din't do any settings before it was working fine now the following error creating so much, can any one try to guide me get up from this prob...

Error:Sub-transaction 0020 has a special meaning

Message no. AH671

Diagnosis

Subtransaction 0020 in combination with main transaction 0100 exists in table TFKTVO. These subtransactions have a special meaning (such as transfer postings in invoicing) and can therefore not be used in the rate steps.

Example

Table TFKTVO contains a subtransaction for main transaction "Consumption billing" that is used in invoicing to find the receivables account. You cannot use this transaction to allocate a revenue account to a rate step.

urget..........

Thanks and regards

Hi Kavita,

Please check if the Sub-Transaction that you are using in the rate has been maintained in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable account.

Hope this helps.

Hi Rakesh,

I have already maintained subtransactions in Contract Account Receivable and Payable but still getting this error.

Can any one please suggest what could be the reason.

Thanks,

Hi Kavita,

Just elaborating the mechanism. You are supposed to make main transaction (0100)and assign Recon account in EK01 as well as sub transaction (0020) and assign revenue account in ek02 with account determination ID.
