• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLT0010 - Configuration error: Only fields of type 'C' and 'K' are allowed ?

  The SAP error message GLT0010 indicates a configuration issue related to the use of fields in a certain context, typically within the General Ledger (GL) or related financial modules. The message states that only fields of type 'C' (character) and 'K' (currency) are allowed, which suggests that there is an attempt to use a field of a different type that is not permitted in the current configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Field Type Mismatch: The error usually arises when a field that is expected to be of type 'C' or 'K' is instead of a different type (e.g., numeric or date).
  Configuration Settings: There may be incorrect settings in the configuration of the financial module, particularly in the GL account settings or in the document types.
  Custom Development: If there are custom programs or enhancements, they might be incorrectly handling field types, leading to this error.

  Check Field Definitions: Review the field definitions in the relevant configuration settings. Ensure that all fields being used in the context of the error are of type 'C' or 'K'.
  Review Configuration: Go to the configuration settings for the General Ledger and check the following:
  
  GL Account Configuration: Ensure that the GL accounts are correctly defined and that the field types align with the requirements.
  Document Type Configuration: Check the document types and ensure that they are set up correctly.
  
  
  Debugging: If the error occurs during a specific transaction or custom program, use the debugger to trace the execution and identify where the incorrect field type is being used.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module you are working with for any known issues or additional configuration steps.
