• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MSG_UH192 - Line &1: &2 only G/L account can be added as children under contra item. ?

  The SAP error message MSG_UH192 indicates that there is an issue with the structure of a financial hierarchy or a specific configuration related to a contra item in the system. The message states that only General Ledger (G/L) accounts can be added as children under a contra item. 
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you attempt to add a non-G/L account (such as a cost center, internal order, or another type of account) as a child node under a contra item in the financial hierarchy. In SAP, contra items are specific types of accounts that are used to offset other accounts, and they are designed to only have G/L accounts as their children.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that only G/L accounts are being added as children under the contra item. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check the Account Type: Verify that the account you are trying to add is indeed a G/L account. You can do this by checking the account master data in the SAP system.
  
  
  Modify the Hierarchy: If you have mistakenly added a non-G/L account, remove it from the hierarchy and replace it with a valid G/L account.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are configuring a financial structure or hierarchy, ensure that the settings allow only G/L accounts under contra items. This may involve reviewing the configuration settings in the relevant SAP module (e.g., FI, CO).
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on the specific requirements for contra items and their child accounts.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Modules: This error is typically encountered in the Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO) modules of SAP.
  Hierarchy Structures: Understanding the structure of financial hierarchies in SAP is crucial for proper configuration and avoiding such errors.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes (e.g., FS00 for G/L account master data) to facilitate troubleshooting and configuration.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your organization's SAP support team for further assistance.
