• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G3307 - Target item &1 (&2 &3) is a non-recordable totals item ?

  The SAP error message G3307 indicates that you are trying to post a transaction to a target item that is classified as a non-recordable totals item. This typically occurs in the context of financial postings, particularly in the area of General Ledger accounting or during the execution of certain financial transactions.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You attempt to post a transaction to a totals item that is not designed to hold individual line item details. Totals items are usually used for summary purposes and do not allow for detailed postings.
  The configuration of the account in the chart of accounts is set to non-recordable, meaning it cannot accept line item postings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Account Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the account you are trying to post to. Ensure that it is not set as a non-recordable totals item. You can do this by checking the account settings in the chart of accounts (transaction code OB52 or FS00).
  
  
  
  Use a Different Account:
  
  If the account is indeed a totals item, you will need to post to a different account that allows for line item postings. Identify an appropriate account that can accept the transaction.
  
  
  
  Review Posting Logic:
  
  Ensure that the logic of your posting is correct. If you are using a custom program or transaction, verify that it is not inadvertently trying to post to a totals item.
