• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FI157 - Accounts with financial transaction other than 30 are rejected ?

  The SAP error message FI157 ("Accounts with financial transaction other than 30 are rejected") typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with account postings in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system has encountered an issue with the financial transaction type being used for a specific account.
  Cause:
  
  Transaction Type Restriction: The error usually arises when a financial transaction is attempted on an account that is restricted to certain transaction types. In this case, the system is configured to only allow transaction type 30 (which often corresponds to a specific type of posting, such as a standard posting).
  Account Configuration: The account in question may be configured in such a way that it does not allow transactions other than the specified type (30). This could be due to settings in the account master data or the configuration of the financial module.
  Posting Period Issues: Sometimes, the error can also be related to the posting period being closed or not allowing certain types of transactions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Account Configuration: Review the configuration of the account in question. Ensure that the account is set up to allow the type of transaction you are trying to post. This can be done by checking the account master data in the SAP system.
  Use Correct Transaction Type: If the transaction type is incorrect, ensure that you are using the appropriate transaction type that is allowed for the account. If you need to use a different transaction type, you may need to adjust the account settings or choose a different account.
  Review Posting Period: Check if the posting period is open for the type of transaction you are trying to execute. If the period is closed, you may need to open it or post the transaction in an open period.
  Consult with SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue through the above steps, consider consulting with your SAP support team or referring to SAP documentation for further guidance.
