Do not change the field selection of the Account assignment..

Whenever you get error Like this you need to change the GL Fields Selection & make it Compatible to Account assignment..

GO to FS00 trxn & enter the GL Account and see the Field Status Group.

then Go to OBC4 trxn & Select "Field status variant " of your Comp Code..and click the Field Status Group on the left Side.

Then Double click the " Field Status Group " and check for the field "'Functional Area'" and make it optional & Save..

This Kind of error for other fields also may Occur continuously

till both the fields of Account assignment & GL account are compatible..

You keep on doing the process, until the error resolves..

Hi,

Please follow the same procedure of cross checking the field selection between G/L account field status group & Account assignment category.

You can observe from ur latest error that another field selection group 'Functional Area'. U repeat the same procedure to all the fields, system proposes one by one.

Thanks

This issue is occuring because of a conflict in the field status group of GL account and the account assignment category in purchasing ( this can be maintained using TCODE -OME9).

The account assignment category Q requires that a project should be assigned ( this is the default setting).

Please do the following

Go to TCODE - FS00 and input the GL accout 13000 .

Go to Bank/Interset tab and note the Field Status Group .Go to transaction code OBC4 and double click the Field status variant corresponding to your Company code and double click to open the Field Status Group from above and navigate to additional account assignment link and make WBS as a mandatory/optional field.

This should resolve the problem. Also make sure that your company code has a valid field status variant.

If this still does not solve problem ,, do let me know.

Hi,

Pls check the field selection of Account assignment category 'Q' with G/L account field selection for the field 'Project/WBS Element'. Both should be same(Optional).

Path:

1) Account assignment category 'Q' - SPRO>MM>Purchasing>Account Assignment>Maintain Account Assignment Categories> Select 'Q' & check the field selection

2) G/L Account: Go to FS00 & check for your G/L account's field status group.

Now Go to transaction OBC4 & check the field selection of your Field status group for the field 'WBS Element'.

It shud solve ur prob..

Thanks
