What causes this issue?

You want to post an integrated business transaction (for instance, an
integrated asset acquisition).
The system splits the business transaction into an operational and a
valuating document. Both documents are posted to the account <LS>
Technical Clearing Account for Integrated Asset Acquisition</>, which
has to display a balance of zero at the account assignment objects
level.
However, there is a balance of transactions on that account that is not
equal to zero.

System Response

The transaction <ZH>cannot</> be posted.

How to fix this error?

Check whether there are any incorrect settings and correct them as
appropriate.
Check the field control of the <LS>Technical Clearing Account for
Integrated Asset Acquisition</> and of the fixed asset balance sheet
account. The field control must be the same for both accounts.
If you are using fixed asset balance sheet accounts that use different
field control, you require several technical clearing accounts for
integrated asset acquisition with different field control. In
Customizing of <LS>Asset Accounting</> under <DS:SIMG.T095_ACI_EX_DC>
Define Different Technical Clearing Account for Required Field Control
</> you can define a separate <LS>Technical Clearing Account for
Integrated Asset Acquisition</> at chart of accounts and account
determination level.
The <LS>Technical Clearing Account for Integrated Asset Acquisition</>
must be able to manage CO account assignments statistically.
In the master data of the G/L account, set the indicator <LS>Manage
Account Assignments Statistically in Fixed Asset Account/Material
Account</>, so that the system can derive the account assignments in
both the operational and the valuating document correctly.
