3423019 - Account Determination Issue during Projects Down Payment Request - S/4HANA Cloud

User cannot post a Down Payment Request Billing Document due to the following error: "Account 41000000 does not exist in chart of accounts YCOA".

SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Edition

1. After creating a Customer Project, in app Plan Customer project, the Projects user creates a Billing line with Item usage “Down Payment Request’.
2. In app Manage Project Billing, the Projects user looks for the customer project they've created.
3. After finding it, user chooses the 'Prepayment' option in order to create the Projects Down Payment Request.
4. That creates the PBDR document (which really is the Project down payment request doc in this case).
5. The Billing user goes to app Create Billing Documents and creates a Billing Doc out of that BDR.
6. Finally, user choses the option to 'Post' the created billing document, which throws the error: "Account 41000000 does not exist in chart of accounts YCOA".

Account 41000000 is defined as Default Cost Element for Down Payments for Controlling Area 0001. However, account 41000000

is not defined in Chart of Accounts of YCOA (Manage Chart of Accounts app).

Please add Account 41000000 in Chart of accounts of YCOA in Manage Chart of Accounts. Here is a video tutorial by SAP Help Portal: How to Manage Chart of Accounts (English Only)
