Hi Frnd,

Pls check the follwing settings whtr it is applied?

1. whther ur document splitting is activated???

2. if yes then GL account for outgoing bank should be assigned to item category 4000 bcoz it is treated as cash or bank account by SAP. as u have outgoing account as Balance sheet account and u have assigned it to the item category 1000 so u r getting the error..

just u try my solution. assign the gl for outgoing account to item category 4000

If helpful then reward points
