Symptom
You cannot delete a G/L Account due to a dump error.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Business Configuration work center.
- Go to the Overview view.
- Search and Open the Activity: Charts of Accounts, Financial Reporting Structures, Account Determination.
- Select Edit Chart of Accounts.
- Select XXX chart of accounts (XXX stands for the Charts of Accounts name).
- Select the G/L Account XYZ (XYZ stands for the G/L Account).
- Select Delete.
There is the popup of Delete account and usage in the configuration (where the account is used)
- select Ok.
A dump error occurs.
Cause
Deletion is only possible if the G/L Account has not been used before. There is still some data in the buffer tables for this G/L account that is stopping the deletion.
Resolution
As this G/L Account cannot be deleted, you can set the G/L Account Posting Block to "3 - No postings allowed". With this setting, the account cannot be used further as no posting is allowed.
When there is posting on the G/L Account, Blocking the account is the recommend action and not deletion.
