  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G0213 - Posting levels of these doc. types must all be under 20 or over 19 ?

    The SAP error message G0213 indicates that there is an issue with the posting levels of document types in your SAP system. Specifically, it states that the posting levels of the document types involved in the transaction must either all be under 20 or all be over 19. This error typically arises during the posting of financial documents, such as invoices or journal entries.

    Cause:

    The error is caused by a mismatch in the posting levels of the document types being used in the transaction. In SAP, document types are assigned posting levels that determine how they interact with each other during the posting process. The posting levels are defined in the configuration settings of the document types, and they dictate the sequence in which documents can be posted.

    • Posting Levels Under 20: These are typically used for standard postings.
    • Posting Levels Over 19: These are often used for special postings or specific scenarios.

    If you attempt to post documents with mixed posting levels (some under 20 and some over 19), SAP will prevent the posting and generate the G0213 error.

    Solution:

    To resolve the G0213 error, you need to ensure that all document types involved in the transaction have compatible posting levels. Here are the steps you can take:

    1. Identify Document Types: Determine which document types are being used in the transaction that triggered the error.

    2. Check Posting Levels: Review the posting levels assigned to each of the document types involved. You can do this by navigating to the configuration settings in SAP:

      • Use transaction code OBY6 (for document types) or OBA7 (for posting keys) to check the posting levels.
    3. Adjust Posting Levels: If you find that the posting levels are mixed (some under 20 and some over 19), you will need to either:

      • Change the posting level of one or more document types to ensure they are all under 20 or all over 19.
      • Alternatively, you may need to change the document types being used in the transaction to ensure compatibility.
    4. Test the Posting: After making the necessary adjustments, attempt to post the document again to see if the error is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for checking and configuring document types and posting levels.
    • SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on document types and posting levels.
    • Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team: If you are unsure about making changes to document types or posting levels, consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for guidance.

    By ensuring that all document types involved in the transaction have compatible posting levels, you should be able to resolve the G0213 error and successfully post your documents.
