• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/EXM_EXPENSE071 - &1 accrued VBDs found for selection criteria ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/EXM_EXPENSE071 typically indicates that there are accrued vendor billing documents (VBDs) found for the selection criteria you have specified in your transaction. This message is often encountered in the context of expense management or accrual accounting processes.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when the system identifies that there are accrued VBDs that match the selection criteria you have entered. This could happen for several reasons, including:
  
  Incomplete or Incorrect Selection Criteria: The criteria you have entered may be too broad or not specific enough, leading to the identification of multiple accrued VBDs.
  Existing Accruals: There are existing accruals in the system that have not been processed or cleared, which are still linked to the selection criteria.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data in the system, such as inconsistencies or errors in the vendor billing documents.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you have entered. Make sure they are specific enough to narrow down the results. You may want to refine the date range, vendor, or other parameters.
  
  
  Check Accrued VBDs: Use transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) or FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) to review the accrued vendor billing documents that are causing the issue. Identify if they are valid and if they need to be processed or cleared.
  
  
  Clear Accruals: If the accrued VBDs are no longer needed, you may need to reverse or clear them. This can be done through appropriate transactions, such as FBS1 (Enter Document) for reversing or F.81 (Clear Vendor) for clearing.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling accrued expenses and vendor billing documents.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message.
