CoA merge: Source account &1 exists; implicit merge by CoA rename
Help Document

Diagnosis

As a consequence of the planned chart of accounts merge, implicit account merges will occur as well.

When checking the G/L accounts that will be merged, the system found that account will be transferred to target account when the chart of accounts is changed.

Another source account already exists on the database and will also be transferred to target account when chart of accounts is changed.

This means that account is implicitly merged with account at A level.

At B level, the mapping ( -> ) and ( -> ) will not result in a merge. (G/L account number will not be changed.)

This has the following consequences. You need:

  1. to check if the implicit merge at A level is correct from a logical point of view
  2. to explicitely include the entries -> and -> to the mapping
  3. to consider the priority indicator. If the priority indicator is not set, it is not clear which settings will take priority when the accounts and are merged into .

Procedure

Regarding item 2:

Explicitely include the mapping -> and -> in the mapping table so that at least the following entries exist in the mapping table:

  • ->
  • ->
  • If applicable, any other mapping entries with target account .

This allows the system to check the merge for logical correctness.

A troubleshooting activity is associated to this activity which supports you in creating the required mapping entries to resolve the implicit merges.

Regarding item 3:

Set the priority indicator for one of the entries with target account .

Note

It is possible to do the conversion without setting the priority indicator. However then you should check the settings in the A segment (master data in chart of accounts, transaction FSP3) for account after the conversion

Further notes

The priority indicator must not be set more than once for all merges to a given target account. This is also valid for cross-chart of accounts merges.
