How To Fix FI_E001 - Invalid financial transaction in commitment item &1 defined in account &2

FI_E001 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FI_E - Message Class for FM English Developers

• Message number: 001

• Message text: Invalid financial transaction in commitment item &1 defined in account &2

What causes this issue?

You are using the funds management system integrated with the budgetary
ledger (BL) for FM area &V4&. For postings in the budgetary ledger, the
financial transaction of the commitment item defined in the FI-GL
account master record must be either clearing (50) or cash holdings
(90).
This validation is needed because having a commitment item with
financial transaction other than either clearing (50) or cash holdings
(90) causes the funds management application to be updated again. Since
FM is being already updated by the application that is calling the
budgetary ledger (the transaction calling the BL) having a commitment i
tem with financial transaction '30' or other than either '50' or '90'
would post twice into FM. This validation avoids this problem.
In this case, the commitment item &V1& defined in FI-GL account &V2& in
company code &V3& in FM area &V4& has a financial transaction other
than clearing (50) or cash holdings (90).

System Response

The budgetary ledger cannot post this document.
