• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ML_CAI_MESSAGE061 - Account &1 (&2) is proposed but doesn't meet autoclearing target of &4% ?

  The SAP error message ML_CAI_MESSAGE061 indicates that an account is proposed for autoclearing, but it does not meet the specified autoclearing target percentage. This typically occurs in the context of automatic clearing processes in SAP, where the system attempts to clear open items in accounts based on certain criteria.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  The account specified (denoted by &1 and &2) has open items that do not meet the autoclearing criteria defined in the system.
  The percentage defined for autoclearing (denoted by &4) is not met by the open items in the account. This could be due to:
  
  The amounts of the open items not matching closely enough.
  The items being of different currencies or not having the same clearing characteristics.
  Other criteria set in the clearing configuration not being satisfied.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Autoclearing Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for autoclearing in your SAP system. This includes reviewing the parameters set for the autoclearing process, such as the percentage tolerance and other criteria.
  
  
  
  Analyze Open Items:
  
  Use transaction codes like FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) or FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) to review the open items in the specified account. Look for discrepancies in amounts, currencies, or other attributes that may prevent clearing.
  
  
  
  Adjust Tolerance Levels:
  
  If appropriate, consider adjusting the tolerance levels for autoclearing in the configuration to allow for a wider range of amounts to be considered for clearing.
  
  
  
  Manual Clearing:
  
  If the autoclearing cannot be achieved due to the nature of the items, you may need to perform manual clearing using transaction F-32 (Clear Customer) or F-03 (Clear G/L Account).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on autoclearing settings and best practices.
