SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 67_LOAN_WRITE_OFF - Message Class for Waivers, Write-Offs and IVA

• Message number: 067

• Message text: Postings to alternative payers require a bank ID

What causes this issue?

A posting to an alternative payer requires a bank ID. If necessary any
valid bank ID will be assigned during posting if it's empty. So it is
better to enter it during write-off / waiver creation.
Otherwise the item might be cleared with a bank ID that's wrong from
business perspective. The residual item (partial write-off / waiver)
will contain the wrong bank ID.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Create the waiver / write-off once again and choose a valid bank ID. If
necessary assign a new bank ID in the business partner master data.
