Symptom
You are trying to search some Supplier Invoices (SIV) or Credit Memos (CM) based on a specific General Ledger (GL).
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
Work Center Supplier Invoicing
Invoices and Credit Memos view
Open the extended filter and search the General Ledger (in field G/L Account) 12345678900 (this number is an example).
Click Go: the mentioned error message shows up.
Cause
Under this view, the system will not be able to search any SIV or CM based on a GL account which contains more than 10 characters.
Also, when searching using the G/L Account field, the system will propose only the Account Determination Group for General Expenses (the GL Alias), and not the General Expense itself.
Resolution
Upon the creation of the Account Determination Group for General Expenses, no more than 10 characters should be used to avoid this issue.
You can alternatively use a report to search for SIV's or CM's based on a specific GL.
