What causes this issue?

You are using the budgetary ledger (BL) integrated with the funds
management system for FM area &V1&. When the BL is called, a BL
internal interface table corresponding to the GL document being created
is passed from the caller application to the BL processor.
The BL internal interface table must be balanced in order to post the
FI-GL document; however, in this case the document is not balanced to
zero. The document currently has a difference of &V3& &V4& for company
code &V2&.

System Response

If this is a posting from budgeting (for example, original budget,
budget supplement, or budget return), use transaction BPACC to correct
your customizing rules for the creation of a second line from budgeting
for the budgetary ledger, as indicated below in the PROCEDURE section.
If this is not a budgeting posting, report the error to the SAP hotline
giving the error number FI_E136 as reference.

How to fix this error?

Review your rules for creating new lines using transaction BPACC. In
order to get a balanced document, the original commitment item must be
expenditure and the target from the generated line must be a revenue
commitment item.
