• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MQ895 - ALE: Accounts administered externally in company code & were not checked ?

  The SAP error message MQ895 indicates that there are accounts in a company code that are administered externally, and these accounts were not checked during the ALE (Application Link Enabling) process. This typically occurs in the context of financial transactions and data distribution between different systems or company codes.

  Check Account Configuration: Review the configuration of the accounts in question. Ensure that they are set up correctly in the SAP system and that they are intended to be managed externally.
  ALE Distribution Model: Verify the ALE distribution model settings. Ensure that the relevant company codes and accounts are included in the model and that the necessary settings for external administration are configured.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like BD64 (for distribution model) and WE20 (for partner profiles) to check and adjust the settings as needed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to ALE and external account administration for specific guidance on how to resolve this issue.
