Symptom
An error occurs during the creation of a down payment request in the "Manage Supplier Payment Requests" app.
The error message is "Account 65001000 doesn't exist in the chart of accounts YCOA".
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
The issue arises due to the system's inability to find the G/L account (65001000) in the chart of accounts YCOA.
When posting down payment requests, the cost element which is defined as a default cost element in the Controlling Customizing (Table TKA01) 'OKEP' is used.
This mapping is required for technical check during creation of a down payment request.
Kindly note that actual posting will happen to the special G/L indicator account which is maintained via configuration "Automatic Account Determination" (ID: 100297). The P&L account in table TKA01 is for technical check and not real posting in FI.
Resolution
- Verify the existence of the G/L account (65001000) in the chart of accounts YCOA in app "Manage G/L Account Master Data". If the G/L account does not exist, it needs to be created.
- Or change the P&L account maintained in table TKA01. Create a customer case with the expected G/L account number. Our development team would assign the G/L account in table as per requirement.
