  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICC_TR128 - G/L account &1 is not a balance sheet account ?

    The SAP error message ICC_TR128 indicates that the General Ledger (G/L) account specified in the transaction is not classified as a balance sheet account. This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions where a balance sheet account is expected, such as in asset accounting or when dealing with certain types of financial postings.

    Cause:

    1. Account Type Misconfiguration: The G/L account you are trying to use is not set up as a balance sheet account in the chart of accounts. Balance sheet accounts are typically used for assets, liabilities, and equity, while income statement accounts are used for revenues and expenses.
    2. Incorrect Account Usage: The transaction you are attempting to perform requires a balance sheet account, but you are using an income statement account instead.
    3. Account Group Settings: The account group to which the G/L account belongs may not be configured to allow balance sheet postings.

    Solution:

    1. Check G/L Account Configuration:

      • Go to the transaction code FS00 (G/L Account Master Record) and enter the account number in question.
      • Verify that the account is set up as a balance sheet account. This can be checked in the account's master data under the "Control Data" tab, where the "Account Type" should be set to "Balance Sheet Account".
    2. Use the Correct Account:

      • If the account is indeed an income statement account, you will need to use a different G/L account that is classified as a balance sheet account for the transaction you are trying to perform.
    3. Review Account Group Settings:

      • Check the account group settings for the G/L account. Ensure that the account group allows for balance sheet accounts and that the necessary configurations are in place.
    4. Consult with Finance Team:

      • If you are unsure about which account to use or how to configure the accounts, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with accounting standards and practices.
