• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G00667 - You can not post to totals items ?

  The SAP error message G00667, which states "You cannot post to totals items," typically occurs when you attempt to post a transaction to a totals record in the General Ledger (G/L) or during the posting of financial documents. Totals items are summary records that aggregate data for reporting purposes and are not meant to be directly posted to.
  Cause:
  
  Posting to Totals Records: The error arises when a user tries to post a transaction to a totals item instead of a line item. Totals items are used for reporting and do not hold detailed transaction data.
  Incorrect Account Type: The account you are trying to post to may be a totals account, which is not allowed for direct postings.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the G/L account that restrict postings to certain types of accounts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Account: Verify that the account you are trying to post to is not a totals account. You can do this by checking the account type in the G/L account master data.
  Use the Correct Account: Ensure that you are using the correct G/L account for your transaction. If you need to post a transaction, it should be to a line item account, not a totals account.
  Review Posting Logic: If you are using a custom program or transaction, review the logic to ensure that it is not inadvertently trying to post to a totals item.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific guidance on the configuration of G/L accounts and posting rules.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like FS00 to view and edit G/L account master data.
