• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICC_TR194 - Multiple special G/L indicators not permitted ?

  The SAP error message ICC_TR194, which states "Multiple special G/L indicators not permitted," typically occurs when there is an attempt to process a transaction that involves multiple special G/L indicators in a way that is not allowed by the system configuration.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Special G/L Indicators: The error arises when a transaction is trying to use more than one special G/L indicator. In SAP, special G/L indicators are used to differentiate certain types of transactions (like down payments, guarantees, etc.) from regular transactions. However, the system does not allow multiple special G/L indicators to be used in a single transaction.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the financial accounting settings that does not allow for the proper handling of special G/L transactions.
  
  
  Incorrect Transaction Entry: The user may have inadvertently entered multiple special G/L indicators in the transaction entry screen.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Transaction Entry: Check the transaction that triggered the error. Ensure that only one special G/L indicator is being used. If multiple indicators are present, remove the unnecessary ones.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you are consistently encountering this error, review the configuration settings for special G/L transactions in the SAP system. This can be done by:
