How To Fix FQ295 - Inverse posting is not permitted in standing request

FQ295 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FQ - Payment Requests and Payment Program

• Message number: 295

• Message text: Inverse posting is not permitted in standing request

What causes this issue?

An inverse posting is not permitted in the standing requests if the
automatic creation of earmarked funds is activated for standing requests
in Customizing. When a standing order is created or changed, a new
earmarked funds item is generated automatically for each standing
request item. This would lead to a new earmarked funds item with a
negative value being generated for an inverse posting. This is not
permitted and needs to be prevented.

System Response

The standing request cannot be saved.

How to fix this error?

In the case of an inverse posting for a revenue account assignment,

the case of an inverse posting for an expenditures account assignment,
enter standing payment request in a standing acceptance request.
