• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1I190 - Backdated posting not possible as general ledger group change planned ?

  The SAP error message 1I190 indicates that a backdated posting is not possible because a change in the general ledger (G/L) group is planned. This typically occurs when you attempt to post a transaction to a prior period where the G/L account settings or configurations have changed, which can affect how the system processes the transaction.
  Cause:
  
  G/L Group Change: The error arises when there is a planned change in the G/L account group that affects the posting period you are trying to access. This could be due to changes in account settings, such as account type, reconciliation settings, or other configurations.
  Period Locking: The posting period may be locked for changes, or the system may not allow backdated postings due to configuration settings.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have restrictions on backdated postings based on company policy or system configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check G/L Account Settings: Review the G/L account settings to ensure that there are no planned changes that would affect the period you are trying to post to. If changes are planned, consider whether they can be postponed or if the posting can be made in a different period.
  Adjust Posting Date: If possible, change the posting date to a period where the G/L account settings are stable and not subject to change.
  Consult with Finance Team: Engage with your finance or accounting team to understand the implications of the G/L group change and whether it can be adjusted or if there are alternative ways to handle the transaction.
  Review Configuration Settings: Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to posting periods and G/L accounts to ensure they align with your business processes.
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like OB52 to check and adjust the posting period settings if necessary.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling G/L group changes and backdated postings.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to financial accounting and controlling (FI/CO) for best practices on managing G/L accounts and posting periods.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting the posting has the necessary authorizations to perform backdated postings, as restrictions may be in place based on user roles.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who can provide deeper insights into the system configuration and potential fixes.
