Error FAGL - POST - SERVICE-012 During Asset Postings After You Switch To Asset Accounting (New)
Error FAGL - POST - SERVICE-012 During Asset Postings After You Switch To Asset Accounting (New)
Error FAGL - POST - SERVICE-012 During Asset Postings After You Switch To Asset Accounting (New)
Symptom
After you switch to Asset Accounting (new), the system issues error FAGL_POST_SERVICE 012 ("Postings
to G/L accounts with open item management are not permitted") when you post from the asset transactions.
This error did not occur before you switched to Asset Accounting (new). All AB01 type transactions (ABIF,
ABAVL, ABZOL, AB01L, and so on) and intercompany asset transfers (ABT1N) are affected. However,
integrated acquisitions using the technical clearing account are not described here. See the release note and
the explanations in the Customizing documentation for this.
Other Terms
As part of Asset Accounting (new), the system always creates financial reporting-specific (ledger-group-
specific) documents for assets. Unlike earlier on, therefore, you can no longer use accounts managed on an
open item basis for offsetting accounts. In particular, this affects the following accounts in the account
determination of the Asset Accounting:
The following applies for Release 6.17: You have activated the business function FIN_AA_PARALLEL_VAL,
and you use Asset Accounting (new) at client level.
Solution
Follow the instructions in the long text of the error message FAGL_POST_SERVICE 012:
1. If the affected account has not yet been posted to, deactivate the open item management in the master
record of the account.
2. If the account has already been posted to, create a new account (for example, by copying) and
deactivate the management of open items there. Assign this account to the relevant entry in the
account determination of the Asset Accounting.
Note: If you use the business function FIN_GL_CI_1, you can use ledger group-specific posting and clearing.
Since, for example, when you enter a vendor invoice, you make a cross-financial-reporting (cross-ledger-
group) posting - that is, without specifying the financial reporting (ledger group) - to the "Contra account:
Acquisition value posting", and since cross-financial-reporting (cross-ledger-group) documents are created
and posted to this account when you enter the asset acquisition in Asset Accounting, it is not possible to clear
the documents on this account.
For the sFIN or SAP S/4HANA release, you cannot use accounts for which ledger-group-specific posting and
clearing is activated for assets under construction of investment measures for the accounts listed above.
The prerequisite for clearing the open items would be that all documents to be cleared are posted with the
same financial reporting (ledger group). However, this is not the case because the payable to be posted is
the same in all accounting principles and, as a result, the operative document is always posted across
financial reportings (a cross ledger groups).
