What causes this issue?

The customizing of the company code (table T001) allows you to define a
country chart of accounts (field KTOP2) for the current company code.
This definition controls the behavior of the field<LS> Alternative
Account Number</> in Master Data Governance for Financials. The
alternative account number can be maintained in two different ways:
If the current company code is assigned to a country chart of accounts,
the search help displays the existing country chart of accounts in the
current edition. This option is used if the alternative accounts are in
the same system. The alternative account number must be one of the
existing accounts.
If the current company code is not assigned to a country chart of
accounts, the search help does not display any account. This option is
used if the alternative account number resides in legacy systems. The
field behaves like a common free text field that may contain any value.

System Response

The current company code &v1& does not use the country chart of
accounts. The search help cannot determine existing accounts.

How to fix this error?

Close the search help and use the alternative account number as a free
text field. Maintain any alternative account number. Note that the
system will not display a descriptive text for the entered alternative
account number.

Procedure for System Administrators

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