Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBFI_BALANCES001 - Invalid account type transferred ?

  The SAP error message WEBFI_BALANCES001: Invalid account type transferred typically occurs in the context of SAP Financials, especially when dealing with the integration between SAP ERP Financial Accounting (FI) and SAP Treasury or Cash Management modules, or during data transfer processes involving account balances.
  
  Cause
  
  
  Invalid Account Type in Data Transfer: The error indicates that an account type being transferred or processed is not valid or recognized in the context of the receiving application or process. For example, when transferring balances or account data from FI to Treasury or Cash Management, the system expects certain account types (e.g., G/L accounts, customer accounts, vendor accounts) but encounters an account type that is not allowed or incorrectly mapped.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration or Mapping: The account type might not be correctly configured in the customizing settings, or the mapping between account types in different modules is missing or incorrect.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: The master data or transactional data might contain account types that are not supported for the specific process or interface.
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Account Type Configuration:
  
  Verify the account types defined in the system (transaction codes like OBD4 for G/L account types).
  Ensure that the account types involved in the transfer are valid and allowed for the process.
  
  
  
  Review Mapping Settings:
  
  Check the mapping between account types in the source and target modules.
  For example, in Treasury or Cash Management, verify the mapping of FI account types to Treasury account types.
  
  
  
  Validate Master Data:
  
  Check the master data of the accounts involved to ensure they have the correct account type assigned.
  Correct any inconsistencies or incorrect account type assignments.
  
  
  
  Check Interface or Program Logic:
  
  If the error occurs during a data transfer program or interface (e.g., batch job, BAPI, or IDoc), review the logic to ensure it correctly handles account types.
  Debug or analyze the program to identify where the invalid account type is passed.
