• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GJ520 - Can not Get Field Status for GL Account & ?

  The SAP error message GJ520, which states "Can not Get Field Status for GL Account &," typically occurs when there is an issue with the field status configuration for a General Ledger (GL) account in the system. This error can arise in various scenarios, such as during document posting or when trying to access certain transactions that involve GL accounts.
  Cause:
  
  Field Status Group Configuration: The GL account in question may not have a properly defined field status group. Field status groups control which fields are mandatory, optional, or suppressed during document entry.
  Missing or Incorrect Assignment: The GL account may not be assigned to a field status group, or the assignment may be incorrect.
  Account Type Issues: The account type (e.g., asset, liability, revenue, expense) may not align with the field status group settings.
  Customizations or Changes: Recent changes or customizations in the configuration of field status groups or GL accounts may have led to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Field Status Group Assignment:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBY6 (or FS00 for GL account maintenance).
  Check the field status group assigned to the GL account in question.
  Ensure that the field status group is correctly defined and that it includes the necessary fields for the transaction you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Field Status Group Configuration:

  Ensure that the fields required for the transaction are set to the appropriate status (mandatory, optional, suppressed).
  
  
  
  Verify Account Type:
  
  Ensure that the GL account type is compatible with the field status group settings. For example, if the account is an expense account, it should be assigned to a field status group that allows for expense-related fields.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Accounts:
  
  If possible, try using a different GL account that is known to work correctly to determine if the issue is specific to the account in question.
