• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GI122 - Table GLT0 may not be maintained ?

  The SAP error message GI122, which states "Table GLT0 may not be maintained," typically occurs when there is an attempt to directly modify or maintain the GLT0 table (the General Ledger Transaction Data table) in a way that is not allowed by the system. This table is part of the Financial Accounting (FI) module and is used to store transaction data for the General Ledger.
  Cause:
  
  Direct Table Maintenance: The error often arises when users attempt to directly maintain the GLT0 table using transaction codes like SE16 or SE11, which are not intended for direct data manipulation of certain tables.
  Authorization Issues: Users may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action they are attempting.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to prevent direct changes to certain tables to maintain data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Standard Transactions: Instead of trying to maintain the GLT0 table directly, use the appropriate SAP transactions for posting or adjusting financial data. For example, use transaction codes like FB01 (Post Document) or F-02 (General Posting) to make entries that will update the GLT0 table indirectly.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the required actions. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the user profile.
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team: If you believe that there is a legitimate need to access or modify the GLT0 table, consult with your SAP Basis or FI functional team. They can provide guidance on the correct procedures or whether any custom development is needed.
  Review Configuration Settings: If the error persists and you believe it should not be occurring, review the system configuration settings related to table maintenance and data integrity.
