How To Fix 68191 - Only posting control '01' and '21' permitted for disbursement

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 68 - Message for DARWIN Loans (continued)

• Message number: 191

• Message text: Only posting control '01' and '21' permitted for disbursement

What causes this issue?

Only the posting control keys '01' (manual debit position) and '21'
(manual posting, only via disbursement) are permitted for disbursement.
Note that if you use posting control '21' (manual posting), the records
for the current disbursement will not be captured by the automatic
debit postion run.
The posting control for the disbursement flow type also applies to all
the incidental costs which belong to the disbursement, even if you have
defined other posting control keys for their flow types.
However, this does not apply to flows which are only due on a later
date (such as interest and repayment).

How can this happen?

You enter a disbursement on 30.03 of a particular year and save it as a
planned record. The the lead date for the withholding amount is also
30.03. Interest and repayment are due on 31.03.
In such a case, the system would post the interest and repayment for
the planned disbursement during the debit postion run, but not the
disbursement itself. If you change or delete the disbursement after the
debit position run, the records already posted during the debit
position run may then be wrong.
Note that you can only reverse these records either after the
disbursement has been posted or if the disbursement is deleted.
You cannot delete the disbursement if it has been saved with posting
control '21'.
