What causes this issue?
You are carrying out a posting to a previous year. This involves both
making a posting to ledger &V1& and automatically carrying forward the
balance for this ledger.
Profit and loss accounts are now carried forward to a retained earnings
account which you can assign per chart of accounts and income statement
type (in Customizing).
In Customizing, you assigned the chart of accounts &V2& to this ledger
(at ledger/company code). The income statement account type of the
account of the current line item is &V3&. This means that to determine
the retained earnings account, the system searches for the entry: Chart
of accounts &V2&, income statement account type &V3&. This entry does
not however exist.
System Response
Posting is terminated.
How to fix this error?
Assign a retained earnings account for chart of accounts &V2& and
income statement account type &V3&:
