• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 068

• Message text: Postings to alt. payers without bank ID can cause inconsistencies

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,
However, this might not be critical if it's a full write-off / waiver
because no open item will be created and no clearing will take place.
But it might cause inconsistencies if the write-off / waiver is reversed
and the original item is reopened..

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?

Proceed or 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.
