[Problem description]

When settling the production order, the system prompts "F5522". For the posting code 81, no corresponding reversing posting code was found. As shown in the following figure: 
What is the reason for this? How should it be dealt with?
 

[Problem Analysis]

1. For the 8-digit and 9-digit posting codes, the SAP consultant training materials tell us that these are the MM inventory integration posting codes:
 

2. For the MM material receiving and dispatching vouchers and the FI financial vouchers, the relationship is as follows: 
Each MM material receipt and dispatch voucher will generate a corresponding FI voucher. In the MM material voucher, A and B represent a cancellation and cancellation relationship, but in the corresponding FI voucher, there is no such relationship.
 

Therefore: When processing the entries of Material Voucher A and Material Voucher B, there may be differences in the average price or standard cost price of the materials moved. Although the total amounts in the vouchers are the same, the specific amounts in the inventory accounts and inventory variance accounts may be different. For example: Material Voucher A has a material unit price of 10 yuan per piece, while Material Voucher B has a material unit price of 11 yuan per piece. 
Material Voucher A's FI Accounting Voucher A01: 
Debit: Raw Materials 10 
Debit: Provision Payable 10 
Material Voucher B's FI Accounting Voucher B01: 
Debit: Raw Materials 1 
Debit: Provisional Liability 10 
Debit: Raw Material Variance 1 
The items in accounting vouchers A01 and FI accounting voucher B01 have different quantities and different subjects. Therefore, they cannot be offsetting vouchers. 

3. In the configuration of the journal entry code OB41, it can be observed that the journal entry code 81 does not have a corresponding code for reversing the journal entry.
 

By viewing the data table TBSL through transaction code SE16, it can be observed that the over-entries with codes 81-99 are all not configured for reversal entries.
 

4. The above is the configuration of ECC6.0. In the subsequent S4 version, it can be observed that SAP has added a reversal posting code to the 81 and 91 posting codes, facilitating the settlement of CO88 and KO88.
 

5. The aforementioned error occurred when upgrading from ECC6.0 to ECC6.0 EHP8. During the upgrade process, SAP failed to add the cancellation posting codes for 81 and 91 in the TBSL table in the upgrade package. 
Here is the program code:
 

As can be seen from the above, for the KO88/CO88 settlement, SAP is used as the material integration voucher. However, in the specific accounting details, it does not follow the rule that the FI voucher for material entries has no cancellation relationship.
 

[Solution]

The transaction code OB41 has added the reversal posting code to the posting codes 81 and 91.
 

NOTE：

2170450 - Error F5522 is issued in T-code KO88
