USMDZ3291
- &1 &2 Reconciliation account cannot be a tax account ?The SAP error message USMDZ3291 indicates that a reconciliation account cannot be a tax account. This error typically arises in the context of financial accounting when you are trying to assign a reconciliation account that is designated for tax purposes, which is not allowed in the system.
Cause:
- Account Type Misconfiguration: The account you are trying to use as a reconciliation account is set up as a tax account in the system. In SAP, reconciliation accounts are used to aggregate balances from sub-ledgers (like accounts receivable or accounts payable) and should not be configured as tax accounts.
- Incorrect Account Assignment: You may be attempting to assign a tax account to a reconciliation account in a configuration or transaction where it is not permitted.
Solution:
Check Account Configuration:
- Go to the transaction code FS00 (G/L Account Master Record) and check the configuration of the account you are trying to use.
- Ensure that the account is not marked as a tax account. The account type should be set appropriately (e.g., as a reconciliation account for accounts receivable or payable).
Change Account Type:
- If the account is incorrectly set as a tax account, you will need to change its configuration. You can do this by editing the account in FS00 and ensuring it is set up as a reconciliation account (e.g., for customers or vendors) and not as a tax account.
Use Correct Account:
- If you need to use a reconciliation account, ensure you are selecting the correct account that is not designated as a tax account. You may need to create a new reconciliation account if necessary.
Consult Documentation:
- Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP FI consultant to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for setting up reconciliation accounts and tax accounts.
Related Information:
If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or a consultant who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific system configuration and requirements.
