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
- Go to the General Ledger work center.
- Go to the Closing Cockpit view.
- Go to the Source Documents subview.
- 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:
- Go to Business Configuration work center.
- Navigate to Implementation Projects view.
- Select the relevant project and choose Open Activity List.
- In the Activity List search for the activity Charts of Accounts, Financial Reporting Structures, Account Determination, select it and press Open.
- Under the section Account Determination, click Costs.
- Select your Account Determination Profile.
- In the Service tab press Add Row.
- Leave the Account Determination Group for Services empty.
- In the Credit for Internal Services as well as the Debit for Internal Services column maintain the relevant G/L Account.
- In the Expenses for External Services also select the relevant G/L Account.
- Press Save and Close.
Now you are able to post the Unposted Source Document:
- Go to General Ledger work center.
- Go to the Closing Cockpit view.
- Go to Source Documents subview.
- Search for your Source Document ID, the production confirmation.
- 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.
