G0118 - Details

• The SAP error message G0118 indicates that there is a mismatch in the breakdown structure between two items in a transaction. Specifically, it means that the item and its corresponding contra item have different breakdowns, which can occur in various contexts, such as in financial postings, internal orders, or project systems.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Different Breakdown Structures: The most common cause of this error is that the two items (the main item and the contra item) are set up with different breakdown structures. This can happen if the items are configured differently in the system or if they belong to different cost centers, internal orders, or projects.
  
  
  Inconsistent Data Entry: If the user manually enters data for the items, there may be inconsistencies in how the breakdowns are defined or entered.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the relevant modules (e.g., controlling, project systems) that lead to this mismatch.
