FI G/L account blocked

G/L account is blocked for posting

An FI, MM or SD posting fails because the selected G/L account is blocked for posting.

Likely root causes

  1. The G/L account is blocked centrally or for the company code.
  2. A legacy/retired account is still referenced by account determination.
  3. An interface or substitution is supplying the wrong G/L account.

What to inspect

  1. FS00 — chart-of-accounts and company-code block indicators.
  2. The document line or account-determination trace that selected the account.
  3. OBYC/VKOA or substitution logic when the account was derived automatically.

Resolution path

  1. Confirm with Finance whether the account should remain blocked.
  2. If the account is obsolete, correct the source mapping or account determination to the active account.
  3. Remove the block only through approved master-data governance if the account is meant to be used.
  4. Retest and confirm postings hit the intended account.
