• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 0T052 - Consolidation system &1 cannot be the same as the integration system ?

  The SAP error message 0T052 indicates that there is a configuration issue in the system where the consolidation system and the integration system are set to be the same. This is not allowed because the consolidation process requires a distinct separation between the systems involved.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The configuration settings in the SAP system have been set such that the consolidation system (the system where consolidated financial data is processed) is incorrectly defined as the same as the integration system (the system from which data is being integrated).
  This can happen during the setup of the consolidation system in the SAP system, particularly in the context of SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation) or SAP S/4HANA Finance.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the consolidation system and the integration system are configured correctly. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration transaction (e.g., in SAP BPC, you might check the settings in the BPC Administration).
  Verify the settings for the consolidation system and the integration system.
  
  
  
  Change the Configuration:
  
  If both systems are set to the same value, change one of them to a different system. The integration system should be the source system from which data is being pulled, while the consolidation system should be a separate system where the data is consolidated.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the configuration and exit.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Run a test to ensure that the error no longer appears and that the consolidation process can proceed as expected.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  Support: If the issue persists after making the changes, consider reaching out to SAP Support for further assistance.
  
  By ensuring that the consolidation and integration systems are distinct, you should be able to resolve the error and proceed with your consolidation processes.
