• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACR_AU_CASHFLOW002 - Cross fiscal year is not allowed. ?

  The SAP error message ACR_AU_CASHFLOW002: Cross fiscal year is not allowed typically occurs in the context of cash flow planning or reporting when a transaction or entry is attempted that spans multiple fiscal years, which is not permitted by the system configuration.
  Cause:
  
  
  Cross Fiscal Year Transactions: The error arises when a cash flow transaction is being processed that involves data or entries from more than one fiscal year. This can happen if:
  
  You are trying to create or modify a cash flow item that has a start date in one fiscal year and an end date in another.
  The configuration settings in the system do not allow for cross-year cash flow planning or reporting.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to restrict cash flow entries to a single fiscal year to maintain data integrity and reporting accuracy.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transaction Dates: Review the dates of the cash flow items you are trying to process. Ensure that all entries are within the same fiscal year. If they span multiple years, adjust the dates accordingly.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you need to allow cross-fiscal year transactions, you may need to review and potentially adjust the configuration settings in the SAP system. This may involve:
  
  Consulting with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to understand the implications of changing these settings.
  Checking the cash flow planning configuration in the relevant modules (like SAP Financial Accounting or SAP Controlling) to see if there are options to allow cross-year entries.
  
  
  
  Use Separate Entries: If cross-year entries are not allowed and cannot be configured, consider creating separate entries for each fiscal year instead of trying to combine them.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on cash flow planning and the handling of fiscal years.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this error or provide additional context on handling cash flow entries across fiscal years.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes (like FPM1 for cash flow planning) that may help in managing cash flow entries.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to cash flow entries and configurations.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal IT team for further assistance.
