• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REEXFI420 - Posting can be made to G/L account &1 only automatically ?

  The SAP error message REEXFI420 indicates that a posting can only be made to a specific General Ledger (G/L) account automatically. This typically occurs in the context of financial postings where certain G/L accounts are configured to only allow automatic postings, often due to their nature or the settings in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Account Configuration: The G/L account in question is set up in such a way that it only allows automatic postings. This is often the case for accounts that are used for specific types of transactions, such as accruals or deferrals.
  Posting Type: The type of posting you are trying to perform (manual vs. automatic) does not match the allowed posting type for that G/L account.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have restrictions on which accounts can be posted to, and the account in question may not be allowed for the document type you are using.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check G/L Account Settings: Review the configuration of the G/L account in question. You can do this by navigating to the G/L account master data in the SAP system (Transaction Code: FS00). Look for settings related to "Posting" and ensure that the account is set up to allow the type of posting you are trying to perform.
  Use Automatic Posting: If the account is configured for automatic postings, ensure that you are using the appropriate transaction or process that allows for automatic postings. This may involve using specific transaction codes or ensuring that the relevant settings in the posting process are correctly configured.
  Review Document Type: Check the document type you are using for the posting. Ensure that it is compatible with the G/L account. You may need to change the document type or use a different G/L account that allows manual postings.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the configuration or the appropriate steps to take, consult with your finance or accounting team. They may have insights into the specific requirements for the G/L account and the types of postings allowed.
  
  Related Information:
