• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BKK_CLS135 - Bank area &1, Acct &2: Is a root acct in the account hierarchy ?

  The SAP error message BKK_CLS135 indicates that there is an issue with the bank account hierarchy in the context of bank accounting. Specifically, the message states that the account you are trying to process is a root account in the account hierarchy, which means it cannot be used in the context you are attempting.
  Cause:
  
  Root Account: The account you are trying to use is defined as a root account in the bank account hierarchy. Root accounts are typically the top-level accounts that cannot be further processed or assigned to other accounts.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the bank account hierarchy setup, where the account is incorrectly classified or used in a way that violates the hierarchy rules.
  Transaction Context: The transaction you are trying to perform may not be appropriate for a root account, such as trying to close or reconcile a root account.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Account Hierarchy: Review the bank account hierarchy configuration in your SAP system. Ensure that the account you are trying to use is not set as a root account if it should not be.
  Use a Different Account: If you need to perform a transaction that is not allowed for root accounts, consider using a different account that is not classified as a root account.
  Adjust Configuration: If the account should not be a root account, you may need to adjust the configuration in the system to change its classification. This typically requires access to the configuration settings in the SAP system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on managing bank accounts and the hierarchy.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like FI12 (for managing bank master data) or OBY6 (for bank account configuration) to review and adjust the account settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on bank account hierarchy issues.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to make changes to bank account configurations, as this may require specific roles or authorizations.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these aspects, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in bank accounting within SAP.
