• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MQ724 - Default values &1 not maintained for view &2 and cons.chart of accts &2 ?

  The SAP error message MQ724 indicates that there are default values that have not been maintained for a specific view and the corresponding chart of accounts. This error typically arises in the context of financial accounting or controlling when trying to create or modify master data, such as cost centers, profit centers, or other financial objects.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system expects certain default values to be set for a specific view in the configuration of the chart of accounts, but these values are missing. This can happen due to:
  
  Incomplete Configuration: The necessary default values for the specified view have not been defined in the system.
  Missing Entries: The entries for the chart of accounts or the specific view are not maintained in the configuration settings.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, some settings may not have been included.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MQ724 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the relevant module (e.g., Financial Accounting or Controlling).
  Navigate to the section where default values for the chart of accounts are maintained.
  Ensure that the default values for the specified view are correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Maintain Default Values:
  
  If the default values are missing, you will need to maintain them. This can typically be done in the following path:
  
  SPRO ? Financial Accounting (New) ? General Ledger Accounting (New) ? Master Data ? G/L Accounts ? Preparation ? Define Account Groups.
  
  
  Ensure that the relevant account group and chart of accounts have the necessary default values defined.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the configuration was recently transported, verify that all necessary settings were included in the transport request.
  If not, you may need to manually adjust the settings in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on maintaining default values for the relevant views and charts of accounts.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
