SAP Note 18835 - FB783: Several bank accounts for one G/L account

Symptom:

If you update an electronic account statement, error message FB783 occurs: "Company code &: Several bank accounts for G/L account &".
The account statement cannot be posted.

Cause and prerequisites

This can have two different causes:
1. One G/L account is assigned to several bank accounts (for example, G/L account 113100 is assigned to the bank accounts DB GIRO and DREBA GIRO).
2. A G/L account assignment is changed AFTER importing the electronic account statement (after RFEBKA00) and BEFORE processing the batch input session (RFEBBU00) (for example, =>DB Giro = 113100 => Import account statement => Change account assignment to DB GIRO = 113200 => Delete 113100 => Start RFEBBU00 => Error message).

Solution
ad 1. Call table T042K via SE16 and check whether G/L account XXXXX has several bank account assignments.
Then you have to change them in a way that EXACTLY one bank account is assigned to each G/L account
ad 2. Check via SE16, whether a record exists in table FEBKO that contains the account objected by the error message. Hold the short key of this (or more) records. Then start report RFEBKA90 which sets the account statements in question to the status 'Updated'. Then start report RFEBKA96 which deletes the (ALL !!) updated account statements. You can now import and update the problematic account statement(s).


Caution: Make sure that you only enter the account statements in question (via short key) in the selection screens of the two reports. Otherwise, ALL account statements receive the status 'Updated' and/or will be (irretrievably) deleted !!!
