• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_FI020 - Entry in table &1 for application &2 and meaning &3 incorrect ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRMA_FI020: Entry in table &1 for application &2 and meaning &3 incorrect
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when there is an inconsistency or incorrect entry in a customizing table related to financial postings for returns or credit memos (often in the context of Returns Management or Credit Memo processing). Specifically, the system is trying to find a valid entry for a given application and meaning in a particular table (e.g., a configuration table for account determination or posting rules), but the entry is missing, incomplete, or incorrect.
  
  The placeholders:
  
  &1 = Table name (e.g., a configuration table like T030, T030K, or a Returns Management specific table)
  &2 = Application (e.g., a financial application area or transaction type)
  &3 = Meaning (e.g., a posting key, meaning code, or transaction type)
  
  
  
  This usually happens during the posting of credit memos, returns, or related FI documents when the system cannot find the correct posting rule or account determination entry.
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  Missing or incorrect entries in account determination tables for returns or credit memos.
  Customizing for Returns Management (e.g., in SD or MM) is incomplete.
  Incorrect or missing configuration in Financial Accounting (FI) related to special postings.
  The system expects a certain combination of application and meaning in a table, but it is not maintained.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the Table and Entries:
  
  Check the table mentioned in the error message (&1).
  Look for entries with the application (&2) and meaning (&3).
  
  
  
  Verify Customizing:
  
  Go to the relevant IMG customizing path related to the application.
  For example, if this is related to Returns Management or Credit Memo processing, check:
  
  Financial Accounting ? Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ? Special G/L Transactions ? Define Special G/L Transactions
  Financial Accounting ? Financial Accounting Global Settings ? Document ? Line Item ? Define Posting Keys
  Sales and Distribution ? Credit and Debit Memo Processing ? Account Determination
  Returns Management customizing (if applicable)
  
  
  
  
  
  Maintain Missing Entries:
  
  If the entry is missing, create the correct entry with the appropriate application and meaning.
  Ensure that the account determination or posting rules are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check for Notes or Patches:
  
  Sometimes, this error can be due to missing SAP Notes or patches.
  Search SAP Support Portal for the error message or related notes.
  
  
  
  Test the Posting:
  
  After maintaining the entries, test the transaction again to confirm the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common in scenarios involving returns, credit memos, or special postings where the system relies on configuration tables to determine the correct accounts or posting keys.
  The exact table and application depend on the module and process (e.g., SD returns, MM returns, FI special G/L).
  If you have access to the system, use transaction SE91 to display the message class WRMA_FI020 and see the full message text and parameters.
  Debugging or analyzing the program flow where the error occurs can help identify which table and entries are being checked.
