alternative account not found

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I was trying to make an invoice entry and I got the below error message:

alternative account not found for G/L Acct. 8889905

I've checked in FS00 and this G/L has an alternative account assigned.

Which could be the issue?

Thank You

Hi Larissa,

1) Check your Country specific chart of accounts.

2) Check the country cpecific COA assigned to your company code.

3) Check the GL account which is assigned to G/L Acct. 8889905 created properly.

Please check whether G/L account created can be seen in both transaction codes FSP0 - In Chart of Accounts and FSS0 - In Company Code.

Hi,

I think you have not crated the alternative account for the courntry chart of account. Please create the GL 8889905 in the country chart of accounts for the co.code in FS00.

HI ..........

If you have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" assigned to the GL Account then it is correct that you cannot change the alternative Account number. However if you do not have a  "Country-specific chart of accounts" Assigned and yet you still cannot make this change See note 305203.

This note will prevent this message where no "Country-specific chart of accounts" is assigned. If you do have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" assigned then unfortunately you cannot change this error message, as FH007 is hardcoded as an error. However, a possible workaround which you may like to try could be: Deassign the country chart of accounts from OBY6,the company code global settings.

Then it is possible to enter an alternative account number on the G/L master record irrespective of whether there is a balance on the account or not. Once the alternative account number is saved, reassign the country chart of accounts to the company code. However, as displayed, your account balancee is infact zero. The note will prevent the error message FH 007 where no "Country-specific chart of accounts" has been assigned to the corresponding company code.

However, in your case, it sounds like you have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" assigned to the company code. Hence the error message.
