How To Fix FAGL_REORGANIZATION507 - Object list for receivables must be generated again

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FAGL_REORGANIZATION - Reorganization

• Message number: 507

• Message text: Object list for receivables must be generated again

What causes this issue?

Receivables in most cases receive their account assignment from
higher-level objects, such as cost centers, orders, and sales orders.
Often, such receivables are still open whereas the higher-level object
has been closed, and consequently they are <ZH>not</> included in the
reorganization.
In the case of such receivables, the system first analyzes how the
higher-level object would have been handled in the reorganization
(especially which account assignment it would have received) so that the
receivable can then be handled accordingly.
Since the analysis is effort-intensive, however, it is only performed
when the <LS>Receivables</> object list is generated.
However, since the last time that the object list was generated, there
might have been postings of new receivables with higher-level objects
that have been closed in the meantime and that have never been included
in a reorganization.
For this reason, an analysis is performed every time receivables are
transferred potentially for the last time. As a result, receivables
still exist for higher-level closed objects.

System Response

The system requires the <LS>Receivables</> object list to be
regenerated.

How to fix this error?

Go to the <LS>Generate</> area on the <LS>Object Lists</> tab page,
select the <LS>Receivables</> object list, and choose <LS>Generate</>.
Perform the steps <LS>Reassign</> and <LS>Transfer</> for the same
object list.

Procedure for System Administrators
