How To Fix FMFG_BLEXT004 - Financial transaction other than '30' for "Delivered"/"Paid" posting

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FMFG_BLEXT - Message class for BL extention for US Federal Government

• Message number: 004

• Message text: Financial transaction other than '30' for "Delivered"/"Paid" posting

What causes this issue?

The US Federal extension of the Budgetary Ledger (BL) is active. When
you post to an SGL account that is classified as paid, the BL
automatically creates the corresponding entries for payment
transactions. However, this is only possible if the financial
transaction of the commitment item is '30' (for posting revenue,
expenditure, asset, inventory stocks...).
In this case, you are posting to commitment item &V1&, which has a
financial transaction &V3& in account &V2&.

System Response

The application cannot create the corresponding payment lines for this
item.

How to fix this error?

The Funds Management (FM) account assignment during the US Treasury
Confirmation process is obtained from a split processor simulation. If
you expect to have the commitment item from the obligation, the cause of
the error could be incorrect customizing of the split processor.
Another possible cause is if an incorrect commitment item is used for
this posting.

Procedure for System Administrators

This is a customizable message with default severity as "Warning". You
can change it to "Error", or even ignore it according to your needs.
If necessary, change the message control in the IMG for application area
FMFG_BLEXT, with message number 004.
Remember that, if this error is displayed during the run of a report
instead of a dialog, some events, such as END-OF-SELECTION changes the
severity of the message from warning to error regardless of the
customizing.
