• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 68158 - G/L acct $ has no OI management in company code $ ?

  The SAP error message "68158 G/L acct $ has no OI management in company code $" typically indicates that the General Ledger (G/L) account you are trying to use is not set up for Open Item (OI) management in the specified company code. This can occur when you attempt to post a transaction that requires open item management, but the G/L account is not configured to handle it.
  Cause:
  
  G/L Account Configuration: The G/L account in question is not marked for open item management in the account settings.
  Company Code Settings: The specific company code does not have the G/L account configured to allow for open item management.
  Transaction Type: The transaction you are trying to execute requires the G/L account to be set up for open item management, but it is not.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the G/L account is properly configured for open item management in the relevant company code. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the G/L Account Master Data:
  
  Go to the transaction code FS00 (G/L Account Master Record).
  Enter the G/L account number and the company code.
  
  
  
  Check Open Item Management Setting:
  
  In the G/L account master data, navigate to the Control Data tab.
  Look for the checkbox labeled Open Item Management. If it is not checked, you will need to enable it.
  
  
  
  Modify the G/L Account:
  
  If the account is not set for open item management, you can modify it. However, note that you may need to consider the implications of changing this setting, especially if there are existing transactions.
  If the account is already in use, you may need to create a new G/L account with the correct settings.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary changes, save the G/L account master data.
  
  
  Test the Transaction Again: After updating the G/L account settings, try to execute the transaction again to see if the error persists.
