For the failing transaction id

Please follow this action plan.

1. Cancel the Cost Manager:

System Administrator -- Requests -- View -- Go To Specific Request and in the
Name give Cost Manager. From here cancel the Cost Manager that is Pending
Scheduled.

2. Create a back up table of MMT

Create table MMT24APR as select * from mtl_material_transactions where
costed_flag in('E' ,'N')

3. The following sql may help in finding the account_id:

select CONCATENATED_SEGMENTS, code_combination_id

set distribution_account_id = &enter_account_id

where ENCUMBRANCE_AMOUNT is not null

and organization_id = &org_id
and transaction_id = &txn_id

5. Update mtl_material_transactions
Set costed_flag = 'N',
transaction_group_id = null,
error_code = null,
error_explanation = null
where costed_flag in ('N','E');
