I was doing a MIRO w.r.t PO. I was getting the following error - "The general master data of the G/L account 161000 is not maintained in the chart of accounts 1000." I later went ahead and created the GL Account in the COA. now the error is recitified. But, I would like to know what happens in the background.
Could someone explain me this? How is the G/L account determined?
