Diagnosis

The budget structure settings do not allow posting to the FM account assignment  -/FM07-CC08/71000000/-. The check of the budget structure ended for the combination of posting ledger and fiscal year 9A/2026 with the return code 5.

The system recognizes the following return codes for the check of posting addresses:

• Return code 1:

  The option of Check Posting Address is Only Check Posting Address List or Check Both Addresses (Posting and Derived Budget Addresses). However, FM account assignment -/FM07-CC08/71000000/- is missing in the budget structure. Insert this account assignment in the budget structure for the combination of posting ledger and fiscal year 9A/2026.

• Return code 2:

  The option of Check Posting Address is Only Check Derived Budget Address or Do not Check Addresses, but the validation of posting addresses does not allow postings to the address  -/FM07-CC08/71000000/-. Check the implementation of the Business Add-In (BAdI) Validate Budget and Posting Addresses in BS.

  If there is any error message from the BAdI validation, you can find it here.

• Return code 3:

  The FM account assignment  -/FM07-CC08/71000000/- leads to a conflict when you define a grouping key within the context of the budget structure. Check the implementation of the Business Add-In (BAdI) Define Grouping Key.

  If there is any error message from the grouping key BAdI implementation, you can find it here.

• Return code 4:

  The derivation strategy used to derive a budget address from the posting address  -/FM07-CC08/71000000/- derives an invalid budget address. You can use program Summary of Budget Structure Settings to find out which derivation strategy is used.

  Check your Customizing settings in Define Derivation Strategy for Budget Addresses. This error may also be caused by inconsistent Customizing settings for activated FM account assignment elements in BCS and FM. This can be checked in the Customizing activity Activate Account Assignment Elements in Budgeting.

  You can find the original error message from the budget address derivation here.

• Return code 5:

  Master data checks do not allow postings to the FM account assignment  -/FM07-CC08/71000000/-. Typical cases are:

  • You try to post to an element with value blank, but this value is not allowed for your FM area. Check your Customizing settings in Allow BLANK as Value for Account Assignment Elements.

  • You try to post to an element which is not valid for the fiscal year.

• You can find the original message from the master data checks here.
