3091350 - Direct postings to reconciliation accounts are not allowed - error F5354 - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

In the SAP standard system direct postings cannot be done to reconciliation accounts. In this case, error message F5354 "Account & in company code & cannot be directly posted to" is being correctly raised.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

The used G/L account is defined as a reconciliation account, for which direct posting is not allowed.
The reason why such postings are not permitted is because they would interfere with the reconciliation between the general ledger and subledgers.
Error F5354 "Account & in company code & cannot be directly posted to" is raised to ensure that the reconciliation between sub ledger and general ledger is always guaranteed.

Resolution

The error is issued correctly.
Post to the relevant customer/vendor account instead of to the reconciliation account directly, or select a different account to post.
