F5804 - Details

• The SAP error message F5804, which states "Internal document no. in G/L acct table not in document header table," typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the General Ledger (G/L) account entries and the document header entries in the SAP system. This can happen due to various reasons, such as data inconsistencies, incomplete postings, or issues during data migration.
  Causes:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The internal document number exists in the G/L account table (e.g., BSEG) but does not have a corresponding entry in the document header table (e.g., BKPF).
  Incomplete Postings: A transaction may have been partially posted, leading to missing entries in the document header.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, there may have been errors in the migration process that resulted in missing or inconsistent data.
  Database Corruption: In rare cases, database corruption can lead to missing entries.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Document Existence: Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to check
