VHURL181 - Details

• The SAP error message VHURL181 indicates that there is a mismatch between the posting types of the account and the offsetting account in a financial transaction. This typically occurs during the posting of a document in the SAP system, particularly in the context of financial accounting or controlling.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatched Posting Types: The error arises when the posting type of the main account (the account being debited or credited) does not match the posting type of the offsetting account (the account that is being credited or debited in return). For example, if one account is set up for revenue postings and the other for expense postings, this error will occur.
  
  
  Account Configuration: The accounts involved may have been configured incorrectly in the system. This can happen if the accounts are set up with different types of posting (e.g., one as a balance sheet account and the other as a profit and loss account).
