How To Fix OM176 - Further posting constellations - accounts display via F6

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: OM - Customizing Materialwirtschaft

• Message number: 176

• Message text: Further posting constellations - accounts display via F6

What causes this issue?

The posting string for the value posting in the accounting system
cannot be uniquely determined for the given simulation scenario.
In the case of simulations based on a material number, the posting
string obtained is unique. On the other hand, simulations based on a
valuation class may not be unique. Because quantity and value update
indicators (stored in table T134W, quantity/value control at
plant/material type level) cannot be uniquely determined via the
valuation class, the relevant T156 entry (movement type quantity/value
posting) cannot be fully qualified.
If, despite partial qualification, only one T156S entry with a value
string is found, the simulation result is also unique. Uniqueness is
also given in the case of several T156S entries if these contain the
same value string and no account grouping codes are defined in table
T156X (transaction keys, modification) for the simulation scenario with
its various combinations of quantity and value update indicators.
Otherwise, the account assignments are displayable for every posting
constellation. For each constellation, the posting string for the
posting in the accounting system and the quantity and value update
indicators (distinguishing the various constellations) are displayed.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

In the foregoing example, the partially qualified accessing of table
T156S (without quantity and value update indicators) provides three
entries with two different value strings, WE06 and WE01.
Several posting constellations are also given if only one value string
- perhaps WE06 - results, but account grouping codes (VBR, VQP etc.)
are defined in table T156X for the scenario, with its different
combinations of quantity and value update indicators. These account
grouping codes can likewise lead to different account assignments for
individual posting lines.
