SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: F5 - Document Editing

• Message number: 715

• Message text: Reset business area in item &

What causes this issue?

You entered business area &V2& in customer/vendor item &V1&, which is
not the same as business area(s) &V3& entered for the G/L account
items.
The business areas for customer/vendor items are derived from the
business area(s) in the G/L account items.
If you specify only one business area in a document, the system
automatically copies it to the customer/vendor item.
If you specify more than one business area in a document, then the
customer/vendor item in the general ledger is distributed
proportionally across the business areas of the G/L account items with
the <GL:balance_sheet_readjustment>balance sheet readjustment</>
function.
You should not enter a business area in each customer/vendor item in
this case.
