2546626 - Journal Entry Voucher For a Multi-Customer Project - Customer and Multi-Customer Projects not Allowed for G/L postings

Symptom

You create a Journal Entry Voucher of type 00047 - Manual Posting - Journal Entry Voucher or Recurring Journal Entry Voucher and assign a Multi-Customer Project task to a line item when an error message appears:

'Customer and multi-customer projects not allowed for G/L postings'.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the General  Ledger work center.
  2. Select the New Journal Entry Voucher common tasks.
  3. Select the Journal Entry type 00047 - Manual Posting - Journal Entry Voucher.
  4. Add the Row for the debit and the credit with the Project Task.

The error message 'Customer and multi-customer projects not allowed for G/L postings' appears.

Note - The error message appears at the time of creation of Recurring Journal Entry Voucher as well.

Cause

For Sales Projects, either Customer project with sales integration or Multi-Customer Project you can only use the JEV type 00088 – Manual Entry for Sales Documents.
The JEV type 00047 only posts in the General ledger without any subledger involvement.

Resolution

If you just need to reassign costs or revenues to a Multi-Customer project use Journal Entry Voucher type 00088 – Manual Entry for Sales Documents and screen variant 634 - Man. Write-Up/Write-Down for Sales Doc.:

  1. Go to the General Ledger work center.
  2. Select the New Journal Entry Voucher common tasks.
  3. In the new screen, select Journal Entry type 00088 - Manual Entry for Sales Documents.
  4. Select the Screen Variant 634 - Man. Write-Up/Write-Down for Sales Doc.
  5. Maintain the line items as needed, crediting or debiting the Multi-Customer Project in one line item and the respective cost object (for example a Profit Center) in the other line item. 
  6. Press Simulate.

This time the simulation of journal entry posting is possible.
