• Message text: Due to reconciliation problems, after creation, do not modify accounts

What causes this issue?

You are using the funds management system integrated with the budgetary
ledger with account derivation for the federal government of the United
States.
Owing to reconciliation issues, we strongly recommend that, once
the budgetary ledger account is customized, you do not change it. Doing
so could lead to future reconciliation inconsistencies with the
balances of the accounts.
However, if no postings have taken place in one specific account, you
are still able to replace it with no problems or consequences.

System Response

Do not change the accounts already customized when postings have
taken place in order to avoid reconciliation inconsistencies.

How to fix this error?

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