  SAP Error Message:
  
  W_CB035 - Enter a checking group
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you are trying to post or process a document in SAP (typically in Financial Accounting or Asset Accounting) and the system requires a checking group to be entered but it is missing. The checking group is a key control parameter used in various SAP modules (e.g., Asset Accounting, Cash Management, or Bank Accounting) to define rules for validations, checks, or controls during document processing.
  In many cases, the checking group is linked to the account, asset, or transaction type and is mandatory for the system to perform the necessary validations.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When posting asset transactions (e.g., acquisitions, retirements) where the asset master or transaction requires a checking group.
  When processing bank or cash transactions that require a checking group for validation.
  When customizing or master data is incomplete or missing the checking group assignment.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Checking Group Manually:
  
  When the message appears, enter the appropriate checking group in the field prompted by the system.
  The checking group is usually a predefined code configured in your SAP system.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify the asset master record, G/L account master, or vendor/customer master to ensure the checking group is assigned correctly.
  For asset accounting, check the asset class and ensure the checking group is maintained in the asset master or transaction type.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  In customizing (SPRO), check the settings for checking groups:
  
  For Asset Accounting: Financial Accounting (New) -> Asset Accounting -> Transactions -> Specify Checking Groups
  For Bank Accounting or Cash Management, check the relevant configuration nodes.
  
  
  Ensure that the checking group is assigned correctly to the relevant transaction types, asset classes, or accounts.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or SAP Notes:
  
  If unsure about which checking group to use, consult your organization's SAP documentation or contact your SAP FI/AA consultant.
  Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to message W_CB035.
