2041564 - Error: 'Multiple Postings of a Record to Account Vacation on DD.MM.YYYY Not Permitted' When Trying to Approve Times

When trying to approve a time the Project Manager receives the following error message:

'Multiple postings of a record to account Vacation on DD.MM.YYYY not permitted'

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to Project Management Work Center.
2. Go to Approvals View.
3. Go to Time Recordings Sub-View.
4. Select a task.
5. Click Approve button.
6. System shows up error message saying 'Multiple Postings of a Record to Account Vacation on DD.MM.YYYY Not Permitted'

When a time recording is approved, the system evaluates all recording in the future as well for correctness. Hence while doing this the system found an inconsistency for the Time Type with Time Type Category Vacation.

To see the inconsistency, follow the steps:

1. Go to Business Configuration Work Center.
2. Go to Overview View.
3. Search for activity Time Types - X.
4. Open it and choose Maintain Employee Time Types.
5. Find and select Time Type with Time Type Category Vacation.
6. You will find the following:
   
   A) Under Time Account Posting tab, the Time Type is configured to post into Time Account: Vacation.
   B) Under Special Posting Order tab, you will find an entry maintained.
   
   
7. Now, click Close button to return to Time Types - X activity.
8. Choose Maintain Time Account Posting Order.
9. Find the Posting Order you could see in the Special Posting Order tab of previous screen.
10. You will see that this posting order is configured to make a posting into Time Account Vacation.

So, system is trying to make two postings to Account Type Vacation.

1. Go to Business Configuration Work Center.
2. Go to Overview View.
3. Search for activity Time Types - X.
4. Open it and choose Maintain Employee Time Types.
5. Find and select Time Type with Time Type Category Vacation.
6. Remove Account Type Vacation from either the Time Account tab or the Special Posting Order tab.
