  The SAP error message 8Z206 ("Enter an account class for all accounts relevant for inflation") typically occurs in the context of financial accounting, particularly when dealing with inflation adjustments in SAP. This error indicates that there are accounts that are relevant for inflation adjustments, but the system has not been configured with an account class for those accounts.
  Cause:
