Issue No.: 11
A company code was assigned to an alternative COA. While creating a new G/L, the user keyed the alternative
G/L in the G/L master. But while saving, the following error occurred: "Alternative Account number already
assigned to account xxxxxx, cannot save." What would be the reason and how can you solve this?
The error is due to the assignment of the operating G/L account to the country COA. You can't assign multiple operating G/L accounts to one country COA G/L account. The relation between the operating G/L and country COA G/L is 1:1. When you are creating the G/L account with reference from some existing account, the alternative COA is also copied here; however, the country COA G/L is already assigned to an operating COA G/L account. This rule is not valid for group COA G/L accounts.
