statistical postings would cause an inconsistency in the system status.

indicator</> in account determination (posting area R001, T001...).
If so, delete the specified G/L account for this transaction.
Because statistical postings are not posted to the general ledger, no

EK203 - Details

• 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.
