Error while transferring open item - FP40

[mitesh_sureliya]

Hi Experts,

I'm facing one problem while doing transfer from one business partner to other(T-Code: FP40).

Following is error message.

• Transaction (CC = 1000, div. = , M.Trans = 6100, Sub.Trans = 8011) not allowed.

         Message no. EK157.

• Diagnosis:

     Main transaction 6100 with sub-transaction 8011 is not listed in the catalog of allowed transactions for company code 1000, division  and therefore cannot be used.

Moreover this problem persist in quality & production client but not in development client. I've checked config in FICA from EK02 & other relevant things.

Please suggest some solution.

Thanks in advance...!!

Hi Mitesh,

As you already have checked in EK02, so do you have the proper settings in your Quality & Production client for this main/sub combination.

This setting is the basic reason for such type of error.

As a quick work around;-May be you can compare the relevant settings with this client against development client, to know what is missing actually.

Hi Sachin,

I've checked some other scenarios & found that the error persist to specific contract accounts only, i.e. I'm able to do the transfer with same main & sub transaction 6100 & 8011 respectively in some other contract account.

I guess it's pertaining to config. of contract & contract account.

If anybody has any idea then please share.

Hi Mitesh,

As you said you already checked that settings are Ok, like a/c determination ID/ Combination of main/sub is maintained in SPRO and same a/c determination id is mentioned in contract account, please check.

Check if the accounts facing the error has marked with some (posting) locks or not.

Dear Mitesh,

Error  EK157 in FP40 is usually when you try to transfer a document which has no contract filled and you are transfering to an account that has a contract. Normally, the program determines the division through contracts and in this occassion there might not be a contract in document so meaning the program assumes the division is blank, so it cannot determine that
combination of

table TE305
APPLK                             R
BUKRS                             1000
SPARTE
HVORG                             6100

TVORG                              8011
>No entry

Please note that you need to review SAP Note 616098 especially items 5 & 6 as I have copied below:

5.  Can I transfer a document assigned to a contract account so that it is assigned to a contract (Contract account -> Contract)?

6.  Can I transfer a document assigned to a contract so that it is assigned to a contract account (Contract -> contract account)?

This is the problems you've been experiencing. You are transfering documents without Contract to a Contract and vise versa. This is not allowed. You need to tranfer in this order:

1. Contract Account -> Contract Account (source must not have DIVISION)
   If the source document has division, then it must have a contract filled in. If not it will not transfer.
2. Contract -> Contract.

Please carefully review and understand  Note 616098.

Thanks and regards,

David
