At the bottom of your error message details is the word "Customizing". You should be able to click on that and it should take you to the general location in SPRO of what needs to be fixed. From reading the message, my guess is that it will take you to the Document Splitting config. (Financial Accounting Global Settings/General Ledger Accounting (New)/Business Transactions/Document Splitting) 1. Check to see if you have Business Area under your config: Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting (for our company we have: GSBER Business Area field, zero balance checked, and PARGB in the Partner field and Mandatory Field checked.) My "guess" is that you've configured your Business Area to be a mandatory field. 2. Make sure under the config "Classify Document Types for Document Splitting" that your WE is set up correctly. For our company, we use Transaction 0600 and variant 0001 for WE.

We recently encountered that same error when we turned on a function in Enhancement Pack 4. For doc type "WE", we had transaction 0000 and once we changed it to 0600 for us in that doc splitter config, the MIGO would post.

Hope that helps,

Cindy
