• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ATL/GENERAL004 - Run the rollup for one fiscal year only ?

  The SAP error message /ATL/GENERAL004 indicates that a rollup process is being attempted for more than one fiscal year at a time, which is not allowed. This error typically occurs in the context of the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module when trying to execute a rollup for asset transactions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the rollup process is designed to aggregate data for a single fiscal year only. Attempting to run the rollup for multiple fiscal years simultaneously violates this restriction, leading to the error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Selection: Ensure that you are only selecting one fiscal year when initiating the rollup process. Review the parameters you are using in the transaction to confirm that only one fiscal year is specified.
  
  
  Run Rollup for Each Fiscal Year Separately: If you need to perform rollups for multiple fiscal years, you will need to execute the rollup process separately for each fiscal year. This means running the rollup transaction multiple times, once for each year.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are unsure about the configuration or the process, consult with your SAP FI-AA configuration team or refer to the SAP documentation for guidance on the rollup process.
  
  
  Check for Open Periods: Ensure that the periods for the fiscal year you are trying to roll up are open. If the periods are closed, you may need to open them or adjust your rollup strategy accordingly.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: If the issue persists or if you suspect it may be related to a bug or specific configuration, check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: The rollup process is typically executed using transaction codes like AFAR (for asset rollup).
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed documentation on Asset Accounting and the rollup process.
  Support: If you continue to experience issues, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the /ATL/GENERAL004 error and successfully perform the rollup for your asset transactions.
