• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST466 - The accountg principle will be valid for all company codes in the ledger. ?

  The SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST466 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the account assignment for a specific account in the context of the General Ledger (G/L) accounting. This error typically arises when you are trying to assign an account to a company code in a way that is not allowed by the system's configuration.
  Cause:
  The error message suggests that the account assignment you are trying to make is not valid because the account principle (or account assignment) is set to be valid for all company codes in the ledger. This means that the system expects the account to be used across all company codes, but the assignment you are trying to make is conflicting with this principle.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Account Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBY6 (or the relevant configuration path) to check the account settings for the G/L account in question.
  Ensure that the account is configured correctly for the intended company codes.
  
  
  
  Review Company Code Settings:
  
  Verify that the company codes you are trying to assign the account to are correctly set up in the system.
  Make sure that the account is not restricted to specific company codes if it is intended to be used across all company codes.
  
  
  
  Adjust Account Assignment:
  
  If the account is meant to be valid for all company codes, ensure that you are not trying to assign it to a specific company code in a way that contradicts this setting.
  If necessary, modify the account settings to allow for specific company code assignments if that is the intended use.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to G/L account configuration to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
