The error is due to the respective G/L account being used in account determination ABC and hence postings hitting this account cannot be prohibited before removing the account from account determination.

First it's needed to find out where this G/L account is used in account determination, by using the Where-Used List functionality. It must be removed or replaced by another G/L account in account determination before the G/L account type can be changed:

1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
2. Go to the Implementation Projects view.
3. Select the project and open activity list.
4. Open activity Charts of Accounts, Financial Reporting Structures, Account Determination.
5. Click link Edit chart of accounts.
6. Select a G/L Account in question and click Where-Used List button.
7. Expand Account Determination and take note of the path.

Then this G/L account must be removed from the account determination.

Steps to follow:

1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
2. Go to the Implementation Projects view.
3. Open the activity Charts of Accounts, Financial Reporting Structures, Account Determination.
4. Open the respective subledger under Account Determination section (for example, Fixed Assets).
5. Navigate to the respective tab (for example, Others) and delete the assignment of the G/L Account with the Account Determination Group.

Once the changes are saved, it should be possible to change the G/L Account Type.
