• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES814 - Flow types not relevant to acc./def. or don't match with acc./def. type ?

  The SAP error message FTVV_MESSAGES814 indicates that there is a mismatch between the flow types and the account definition types in the context of financial transactions. This error typically arises in the context of financial accounting and controlling, particularly when dealing with flow types in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Flow Type Configuration: The flow type being used in the transaction is not configured to be relevant for the specified account definition type. This can happen if the flow type is not assigned to the correct account type in the configuration settings.
  
  
  Account Definition Mismatch: The account definition type (e.g., whether it is a balance sheet account or a profit and loss account) does not match the flow type being used. Each flow type is associated with specific account types, and if there is a mismatch, this error will occur.
  
  
  Transaction Type Issues: The transaction type being processed may not be compatible with the flow type or account definition type being used.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Flow Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for flow types in SAP (Transaction Code: OBY6 or SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger Accounting -> Business Transactions -> Document Entry -> Define Flow Types).
  Ensure that the flow type you are using is correctly configured and is relevant to the account definition type you are working with.
  
  
  
  Review Account Definitions:
  
  Check the account definitions in the system (Transaction Code: OBD4 or SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger Accounting -> Master Data -> G/L Accounts -> Prepare G/L Account Creation).
  Make sure that the account definitions are set up correctly and that they match the flow types you intend to use.
  
  
  
  Validate Transaction Types:
  
  Ensure that the transaction type being used is compatible with the flow type and account definition type. You may need to review the configuration of transaction types (Transaction Code: OBY1).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the configuration settings, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant for guidance on the correct setup.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to financial accounting and controlling, as they can help you navigate the configuration settings more effectively.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the configuration settings in SAP.
