1917376 - Unposted Production Confirmation - Default entry without acc. det. group: G/L account missing for services

Symptom

You notice an unposted source document for which an error message is displayed: 'Default entry without acc. det. group: G/L account missing for services'.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the General Ledger work center.
  2. Go to the Closing Cockpit view.
  3. Go to the Source Documents subview.
  4. You find an unposted Production Confirmation here for which the error message is displayed in the Messages area 'Default entry without acc. det. group: G/L account missing for services'.

Cause

In the production confirmation, resources can confirm their work without providing a special service. If a service is involved, then the respective G/L account is derived using the account determination group of this service. If no service is involved, then the G/L account is derived using the default entry in Account Determination.

Resolution

To maintain a Default Account Determination for Services:

  1. Go to Business Configuration work center.
  2. Navigate to Implementation Projects view.
  3. Select the relevant project and choose Open Activity List.
  4. In the Activity List search for the activity Charts of Accounts, Financial Reporting Structures, Account Determination, select it and press Open.
  5. Under the section Account Determination, click Costs.
  6. Select your Account Determination Profile.
  7. In the Service tab press Add Row.
  8. Leave the Account Determination Group for Services empty.
  9. In the Credit for Internal Services as well as the  Debit for Internal Services column maintain the relevant G/L Account.
  10. In the Expenses for External Services also select the relevant G/L Account.
  11. Press Save and Close.

Now you are able to post the Unposted Source Document:

  1. Go to General Ledger work center.
  2. Go to the Closing Cockpit view.
  3. Go to Source Documents subview.
  4. Search for your Source Document ID, the production confirmation.
  5. Select the ID and press Actions and select Post Business Transaction

Remark: ensure the month that you intend to post the unposted source document is open.
