Symptom
Unable to post documents such as: supplier invoice, general journal entries, due to error "Posting not allowed as there are changes to the expense type" in your quality system.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a posting document and error occurs.
Cause
We could see error is raised due to existing configuration locks of GL Account(associated in your posting) in quality system.
As long as the configuration in development system is open (Transport not released), the application will prevent any changes related to the configured objects (GL Account and Expense) in quality and production by having a lock.
This is to have consistency.
Now the error in quality "Posting not allowed as there are changes to the expense type" is due to the configuration changes that are captured in transport XXXXXXXXXX and not yet released.
Resolution
We have two proposals:
- Release the configuration changes in your development system under transport XXXXXXXXXX(you can check the transport ID in your "Import Collection" app or check with SAP Support).
Or - Please revert the changes at least to the GL Account that you wanted to include as part of "Post Supplier Invoices" in quality.
With the above action, the locks in the quality will be removed and you can proceed with the application.
