• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EK203 - Transact. &1 &2 in CC &3 div. &4 is statistical; do not specify G/L accnt ?

  The SAP error message EK203 indicates that you are trying to post a transaction that involves a statistical condition in a cost center (CC) or division (div) where a General Ledger (G/L) account should not be specified. This typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and financial accounting (FI) when dealing with statistical postings.
  Cause:
  
  Statistical Posting: The error arises because the system is set up to treat the specified cost center or division as statistical. Statistical postings are used for tracking purposes and do not affect the financial accounting directly.
  G/L Account Specification: When posting to a statistical cost center or division, you should not specify a G/L account. The system expects that the transaction will not involve a financial impact, hence the restriction.
  
  Solution:
  
  Remove G/L Account: If you are trying to post to a statistical cost center or division, ensure that you do not specify a G/L account in your transaction. This means you should only enter the cost center/division and the relevant amounts without linking them to a G/L account.
  Check Configuration: If you believe that the cost center or division should allow G/L postings, check the configuration settings in the controlling module to ensure that it is set up correctly. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings for the cost center or division.
  Use Correct Transaction Type: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction type that aligns with the nature of the posting you are trying to perform. If it is a statistical entry, use the appropriate transaction that supports statistical postings.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Statistical Cost Centers: These are used for tracking purposes and do not have a direct impact on financial statements. They are often used for internal reporting and analysis.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on statistical postings and the configuration of cost centers.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KSB1 (Cost Centers: Actual Line Items) and KOB1 (Order: Actual Line Items) to analyze postings and understand how they relate to your error.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in SAP CO and FI modules for further assistance.
