  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1G613 - &1 &2 No retroactive acctg, only one period that goes back to old FYr ?

    The SAP error message 1G613 indicates that there is an issue with retroactive accounting in the context of financial postings. Specifically, the message states that retroactive accounting is not allowed because there is only one period that goes back to an old fiscal year. This typically occurs in scenarios where you are trying to post a transaction that affects a prior fiscal year, but the system is configured to restrict such postings.

    Cause:

    1. Fiscal Year Configuration: The fiscal year variant may not allow postings to prior periods beyond a certain limit. This is often set to prevent changes to closed financial periods.
    2. Period Locking: The period you are trying to post to may be locked for posting, either due to the fiscal year being closed or due to specific settings in the controlling area.
    3. Retroactive Accounting Settings: The settings for retroactive accounting in the system may not be configured to allow postings to the specified period.

    Solution:

    1. Check Fiscal Year Variant: Review the fiscal year variant settings in the configuration. Ensure that the periods are open for posting and that the settings allow for retroactive accounting if needed.
    2. Unlock Periods: If the period is locked, you may need to unlock it. This can be done by a user with the appropriate authorization, typically in the transaction code OB52 (Change Posting Periods).
    3. Adjust Retroactive Accounting Settings: If retroactive accounting is required, check the settings in the relevant configuration areas (e.g., in the controlling module) to ensure that they allow for the necessary postings.
    4. Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about making changes, consult with your finance team or SAP administrator to understand the implications of changing period settings or retroactive accounting configurations.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • OB52: Change Posting Periods
      • SPRO: Access to the configuration settings for fiscal year variants and retroactive accounting.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on fiscal year variants and retroactive accounting settings.
    • User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to posting periods or configuration settings.

    If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult SAP support or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
