If you save the netting unit anyway, the system adjusts the affected

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RO232 - Flows with customer postings and G/L account postings contained ?

  The SAP error message RO232 indicates that there are flows with customer postings and G/L account postings contained in the same document. This typically occurs in the context of financial transactions where both customer-related entries and general ledger (G/L) entries are being processed together, which is not allowed in certain scenarios.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A document is being created or processed that includes both customer (accounts receivable) postings and G/L account postings.
  The system is configured to prevent the mixing of these types of postings in a single document for reasons related to accounting principles or system settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RO232 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Separate Transactions: Ensure that customer postings and G/L account postings are processed in separate transactions. For example, if you need to post a customer invoice, do that in one transaction, and any related G/L postings should be done in a separate transaction.
  
  
  Review Document Types: Check the document types being used. Some document types may have restrictions on the types of postings allowed. Ensure that the document type you are using is appropriate for the type of transaction you are trying to post.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system. This may involve checking the settings in the Financial Accounting (FI) module to ensure that the system is set up correctly to handle the types of postings you are trying to make.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the error message RO232. This may provide additional context or steps specific to your version of SAP.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide more tailored assistance based on your system configuration and business processes.
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to error RO232, as these may provide patches or updates that address known issues.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users involved in financial postings are trained on the correct procedures to avoid mixing customer and G/L postings.
