How To Fix FAGL_REORGANIZATION508 - Object list for payables must be generated again

FAGL_REORGANIZATION508 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FAGL_REORGANIZATION - Reorganization

• Message number: 508

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

What causes this issue?

Payables in most cases receive their account assignment from
higher-level objects, such as cost centers, orders, and purchase order
items.
Often, such payables 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 payables, the system first analyzes how the
higher-level object would have been handled in the reorganization (e
specially which account assignment it would have received) so that the
payable can then be handled accordingly.
Since the analysis is effort-intensive, however, it is only performed
when the <LS>Payables</> object list is generated.
However, since the last time that the object list was generated, there
might have been postings of new payables 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 payables are
transferred potentially for the last time. As a result, payables still
exist for higher-level closed objects.

System Response

The system requires the <LS>Payables</> 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>Payables</> object list, and choose <LS>Generate</>.
Perform the steps <LS>Reassign</> and <LS>Transfer</> for the same
object list.
