  • What causes this issue?

    You are using the funds management system integrated with the budgetary
    ledger (BL). For postings in the BL, an FI-GL document type is
    required.
    The default document type for the budgetary ledger is &V1&. If desired,
    customers can use this default document type. However, this document
    type has not been created for this company code through customizing.

    System Response

    The budgetary ledger processor cannot post this document.

    How to fix this error?

    You have the following options>
    If you want to use the default document type for the budgetary ledger,
    use transaction OBA7 to create the document type &V1&. You can access
    it using the link defined below.

    <DS:TRAN.OBA7>Execute maintain "Document Types"</>
    ENDIF
    If you need to use a document type other than &V1& for the budgetary
    ledger postings, follow the procedure described below.

    Procedure for System Administrators

    Create a function module similar to FM_LEDGER_DOCUMENT_TYPE_ASSIGN.
    Then replace this default function module name with your own one in the
    business transaction events (BTE) table TPS31, PROCS = '00108012', APPL
    = 'IS-PS'.
    You have to program all validations regarding the consistency of the
    derived document types, such as the existing document type, existing
    ranges in company code, and so on.
    For additional information check the source code from the standard
    function module FM_LEDGER_DOCUMENT_TYPE_ASSIGN but do not modify this
    code.
    Since the budgetary ledger interface table is passed as a parameter,
    more complex document type determination can be programmed, based, for
    example, on the company code, value type, fund, or funds center.

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
