  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 8B217 - NF posting for accounts, assets or skonti not possible ?

    The SAP error message 8B217 indicates that a posting for accounts, assets, or discounts (skonti) is not possible. This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with accounts payable or receivable, asset accounting, or discount calculations.

    Causes of Error 8B217

    1. Account Type Restrictions: The account you are trying to post to may not be configured to allow the type of transaction you are attempting. For example, certain accounts may be set up only for specific types of postings (e.g., only for asset transactions).

    2. Account Status: The account may be blocked or inactive. If an account is marked as blocked, no postings can be made to it.

    3. Posting Period Issues: The posting period may be closed or not open for the transaction date you are trying to use. SAP has a strict control over posting periods, and if the period is closed, you cannot post to it.

    4. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the financial accounting settings that prevent the posting. This could include settings related to account determination, document types, or posting keys.

    5. Missing Master Data: The necessary master data (like vendor or customer master records) may be incomplete or missing, which can prevent postings.

    Solutions to Error 8B217

    1. Check Account Configuration: Review the configuration of the account you are trying to post to. Ensure that it is set up to allow the type of transaction you are attempting.

    2. Verify Account Status: Check if the account is active and not blocked. You can do this by reviewing the account master data in the SAP system.

    3. Open Posting Period: Ensure that the posting period is open for the date of the transaction. You can check this in the transaction code OB52 (for managing posting periods).

    4. Review Configuration Settings: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP FI consultant to review the relevant settings in the financial accounting module.

    5. Check Master Data: Ensure that all necessary master data is complete and correctly configured. This includes vendor/customer accounts and asset master records.
