• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_RECON551 - &1: Non-GL entries of ACDOCA have balance in TSL of &2 (&3) ?

  The SAP error message FINS_RECON551 indicates that there are non-General Ledger (non-GL) entries in the ACDOCA table (the universal journal) that have a balance in the TSL (Transaction Specific Ledger) of a specified amount. This typically occurs during reconciliation processes or when trying to post entries that should not have a balance in the TSL.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-GL Entries: The error suggests that there are entries in the ACDOCA table that are not related to the General Ledger but still have a balance in the TSL. This can happen if:
  
  There are incorrect postings or configurations in the system.
  There are inconsistencies in the data due to manual entries or incorrect data migration.
  The system is trying to reconcile or post entries that should not be included in the TSL.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of the ledger or the posting rules may not be set up correctly, leading to non-GL entries being recorded in the TSL.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with data integrity, such as duplicate entries or incorrect account assignments.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Entries: Check the entries in the ACDOCA table for the specified TSL. Identify the non-GL entries that are causing the issue. You can use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to view the ACDOCA table.
  
  
  Correct Postings: If incorrect postings are found, you may need to reverse or correct these entries. Ensure that only GL entries are posted to the TSL.
  
  
  Configuration Check: Review the configuration settings for the ledgers and ensure that the posting rules are correctly defined. This includes checking the settings for the non-GL accounts and ensuring they are not set to post to the TSL.
  
  
  Data Cleanup: If there are data integrity issues, consider running data cleanup processes or using tools provided by SAP to correct inconsistencies.
