Item category 04000 is missing (obligatory in accounting transaction 1000/0

Good Morning SAP Guru's,

Error Message: Item category 04000 is missing (obligatory in accounting transaction 1000/0001)

I am receiving an error message while trying to process a wire via F-30. The wire is clearing invoices in 2 co.codes and I am trying to hit a G/L for discounts. This box comes up but I am unable to identify the error. I attempted to look in SAP and found no notes with this error.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated!

Hey,

The error is related with ECC 6.0 document splitting. The concerned GL account might not be assigned to any item category.

Thank you Sriram,

How would I go about to correct this issue? Under FS00 under the G/L?

Thanks.

Sriram,

I guess what I am saying is that I don't see where the issue is. I checked nodes and it all looks ok.

What node do you suggest I look at?

Thanks!

Under Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledgers, I have Zero Balance and Partner Field selected.

I believe this is correct config-

totally baffled here

any help would be appreciated

Sriram,

Define Item Category:

The issue is related to payments

when I look in the config under Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting

100000 119999 04000 Cash Account

all good under Classify FI Doc Types for Document Splitting

under Posting key overview

I see only one Item Category 01001 for standard account for zero balance

I don't see anything about a Item Category you mention

Please elaborate

Hello,

I didnt work on document splitting but I know that this error is because of document splitting.

In document splitting we have item categories defined and we assign GL account number ranges to these item categories.

If a Co.Cd is activated with document splitting and if the accounts used in any business transaction are not assigned to item categories then you would get that error.

Item category is basically the semantic description of the document split.

Regards,

Sriram
