SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PSM_CASH_FLOW -

• Message number: 005

• Message text: Scenario &1 is not assigned to a general ledger

What causes this issue?

A scenario in the new general ledger (NewGL) defines which fields are
updated in line items and totals tables. The scenario &v1& updates the
<LS>RE_ACCOUNT</> field in the totals table.

System Response

Source-based cash flow reporting does not work because the account
assignment object (RE_ACCOUNT) is used to track the cash flow through
different processes. If scenario &v1& is not assigned to a general
ledger, the system cannot update the <LS>RE_ACCOUNT</> field in the
totals tables.

How to fix this error?

Contact your system administrator.

Procedure for System Administrators

Assign the scenario &v1& to a general ledger containing the totals table
PSGLFLEXT, using the Customizing activity, Assign Scenarios and Customer
Fields to Ledgers. You cannot assign the scenario to general ledgers
containing other totals tables.

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