UCT5002 - Target account with blank item is not permitted

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCT5 - Messages for Selection Conditions/Target Accounting Objects

• Message number: 002

• Message text: Target account with blank item is not permitted

What causes this issue?

The Customizing of the consolidation function, in the current context,
plans a target account assignment that contains an item. However, no
item is specified.
This would mean that the value calculated for this target assignment
should be posted with a blank item at the runtime of the consolidation
function. However, postings with blank item are not permitted

System Response

Customizing settings for target account assignment are inconsistent and
cannot be saved.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the entry of a specific item is planned here. In this case
specify a valid item.
In some cases, the item of the target account assignment should be
transferred at runtime from the processed data records. To achieve this,
change the option for the characteristic "item" in the target account
assignment from "single value" to "no value". As a result, you instruct
the system not to replace the item when using the target account
assignment.
