• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6D120 - Transfer posting to G/L account & not permitted ?

  The SAP error message 6D120 indicates that a transfer posting to a General Ledger (G/L) account is not permitted. This error typically arises when there are restrictions or configurations in place that prevent the posting to the specified G/L account.
  Causes:
  
  Account Type Restrictions: The G/L account may be configured in such a way that it does not allow certain types of postings (e.g., it may be a balance sheet account that does not allow transfer postings).
  Posting Period: The posting period may be closed, preventing any new postings to the G/L account.
  Account Assignment: The account may require specific account assignment objects (like cost centers or internal orders) that are not provided in the posting.
  Document Type Restrictions: The document type used for the posting may not be allowed for the G/L account in question.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the Financial Accounting (FI) module that restrict postings to certain accounts.

  Check G/L Account Configuration: Review the configuration of the G/L account in transaction code FS00. Ensure that the account is set up to allow the type of posting you are trying to perform.
  Verify Posting Period: Check if the posting period is open. You can do this in transaction code OB52. If the period is closed, you may need to open it or use a different period.
  Review Account Assignment: Ensure that all required account assignment objects are provided in the posting. If the G/L account requires a cost center or internal order, make sure these are included.
  Check Document Type: Verify that the document type you are using is allowed for the G/L account. You can check this in the configuration settings for document types.
  Consult with Configuration Team: If you are unsure about the settings, consult with your SAP FI configuration team to understand any specific restrictions that may be in place.
