SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GLE_MCA - Multicurrency Accounting

• Message number: 598

• Message text: List of accounts incomplete for offsetting account &3

What causes this issue?

One of the selected accounts is customized to be processed indirectly
using an offsetting account. Therefore, the list of accounts to be
processed in the process run must contain all accounts in the same
company code that are customized to be processed using the same
offsetting account. Additionally, the offsetting account itself must be
in the list of accounts selected.
Account &V1& is in the list of accounts selected and the account refers
to offsetting account &V3&. Therefore, the list must also contain the
offsetting account &V3& and account &V2&, which is customized to be
processed using the same offsetting account. However, account &V2& is
not included in the list.

System Response

The system terminates processing of the current company code.

How to fix this error?

Run the same process with modified select options so that either account
&V1& is not included in the list or that account &V2& is also selected.
If you want to include account &V2& in the list, you must use an MCA key
to assign a process type of the current process category to the account.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
