Symptom
You are executing a Reclassification Run for Receivables but the run finishes with errors. In the Messages tab, the following message is displayed: 'Account determination for acct <ABCD> <XYZ> not defined for reclassification' (where ABCD stands for the Charts of Account and XYZ for the impacted G/L account).
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Receivables Work Centre.
- Navigate to the Periodic Tasks View.
- Select Reclassification of Receivables.
- Search and select the relevant Reclassification Run.
- In the Run details you can see that it was finished with errors.
- Click on the View button, navigate to the Messages tab.
- The following error message is displayed: 'Account determination for acct <ABCD> <XYZ> not defined for reclassification'.
- You navigate to the Postings tab and see that G/L accounts UVW and XYZ are used. Both are Receivables G/L accounts.
Cause
As indicated by the error message, it is raised because configuration for Reclassification of Receivables is not done properly in Business Configuration Activity: Charts of Accounts, Financial Reporting Structures, Account Determination. Either G/L accounts are missing or incorrect or Reclassification Ranges are not maintained as expected.
Resolution
- Open the Business Configuration Work Centre.
- Select the First Implementation View.
- Select the relevant Implementation Project, Open the Activity List.
- Navigate to the Fine-tune tab, search for the Charts of Accounts, Financial Reporting Structures, Account Determination activity
- Navigate to Account Determination and open the Subledger Account Receivables and then the Reclassification tab
- There, you can find G/L Accounts UVW and XYZ
- You have to make sure that both of them are maintained as Receivables Accounts and Reclassification Accounts with the proper Reclassification Ranges for Debit and Credit for each:
Receivables Account | Reclassification Range | Reclassification Account |
UVW | C0012 - Credit Balance, 0 - 12 months | XYZ |
UVW | C1260 - Credit Balance, 12 - 60 months | XYZ |
UVW | C6099 - Credit Balance, 60 - 99 months | XYZ |
UVW | D0012 - Debit Balance, 0 -12 months | XYZ |
UVW | D1260 - Debit Balance, 12 - 60 months | XYZ |
UVW | D6099 - Debit Balance, 60 - 99 months | XYZ |
XYZ | C0012 - Credit Balance, 0 - 12 months | UVW |
XYZ | C1260 - Credit Balance, 12 - 60 months | UVW |
XYZ | C6099 - Credit Balance, 60 - 99 months | UVW |
XYZ | D0012 - Debit Balance, 0 -12 months | UVW |
XYZ | D1260 - Debit Balance, 12 - 60 months | UVW |
XYZ | D6099 - Debit Balance, 60 - 99 months | UVW |
Once you have maintained the proper Reclassification Ranges, execute your Reclassification of Receivables Run again, the run should now finish without errors.
Note - The above solution is valid for Reclassification of Payables as well.
