• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BK206 - Reposting not poss. due to summarization using aux. account assignments ?

  The SAP error message BK206 ("Reposting not possible due to summarization using auxiliary account assignments") typically occurs in the context of financial postings, particularly when trying to perform a reposting operation that involves auxiliary account assignments (like cost centers, internal orders, etc.) that have been summarized.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to repost a document that has been summarized in the system. Summarization means that the original line items have been aggregated into a single entry for reporting or processing purposes. When this happens, the detailed auxiliary account assignments (like cost centers or internal orders) are lost, making it impossible to perform a reposting that requires those details.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Check Document Status: Verify if the document you are trying to repost has been summarized. If it has, you may need to reverse the summarization or work with the original detailed entries.
  
  
  Use Original Document: If possible, locate the original document that contains the detailed line items and perform the reposting on that document instead of the summarized version.
  
  
  Adjust Posting Logic: If you are developing custom logic or using a specific transaction, ensure that it accommodates the summarization rules and does not attempt to repost summarized entries.
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the implications of reversing or adjusting postings, consult with your finance team or SAP support to ensure compliance with accounting principles.
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FB50 (General Ledger), FB08 (Reverse Document), and others that may be involved in the posting process.
  Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings related to summarization in your SAP system, particularly in the Financial Accounting (FI) module.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform reposting and that the system settings allow for such operations.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support for further assistance.
