What causes this issue?

You are using the budgetary ledger in which SAP Funds Management is
integrated with the account derivation for Colombia to post a document.
The budgetary ledger processor is trying to derive each line item passed
to a GL account. However, in this case the derivation process for Former
Budgeting or BCS (Budget Control System) could not find this line item.

System Response

You cannot post this document.

How to fix this error?

This customizing has been done using transaction FMBLCOBU (FM budgetary
ledger for Colombian budgeting).
If you don't want this line to be derived because it is not relevant for
the budgetary ledger account derivation, then using the CO-PA account
derivation tool FMBLCOBU, you can define this line as irrelevant. You
could use a general field like LEDGER to avoid detailed Customizing for
each line.
If a line <ZH>is</> relevant (you do not need to define it as relevant),
then you have to customize the specific line for it using the same
transaction FMBLCOBU.
If you are not sure about the values being passed to the budgetary
ledger account derivation, you can turn the trace on from inside this
Customizing transaction, in order to see that the values have been
passed on and derived inside the account derivation.

Procedure for System Administrators

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