  The SAP error message FMPEB070 indicates that there is an issue with the way tax and general ledger (G/L) account lines are being processed in a financial transaction. This error typically arises in the context of Funds Management (FM) when trying to post a document that includes both tax and G/L account lines in a manner that is not allowed by the system.

  Solution:
  To resolve the FMPEB070 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Separate Lines: Ensure that tax and G/L account entries are on separate lines in the document. For example, if you are posting an invoice, make sure that the tax amount is recorded in a separate line from the G/L account entries.
  
  
  Review Document Structure: Check the structure of the document you are trying to post. Make sure that it adheres to the requirements of the Funds Management module.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, review the settings related to tax and G/L account postings in the Funds Management module. Ensure that they are set up correctly to allow for the intended posting behavior.
