  The SAP error message /CCIS/CCISCORRESP147 Non-leading ledger already defined; additional ledger not possible typically occurs in the context of SAP's Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with the configuration of ledgers in the context of the New General Ledger (New GL) functionality.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that you are trying to define an additional non-leading ledger in a scenario where a non-leading ledger has already been defined for the company code. In SAP, each company code can have one leading ledger and multiple non-leading ledgers, but there are restrictions on how many non-leading ledgers can be defined based on the configuration.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Ledgers: Go to the configuration settings in SAP and check the existing ledgers defined for the company code. You can do this by navigating to:
  
  Transaction Code: OB22 (for defining ledgers)
  Transaction Code: S_ALR_87012357 (to view ledger assignments)
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If a non-leading ledger is already defined, you will need to determine if you can use that existing ledger for your purposes. If you need a different ledger, you may need to adjust your requirements or consider using the existing one.
  
  
  Modify Ledger Settings: If you need to change the configuration, you may need to delete the existing non-leading ledger (if it is not in use) or modify your requirements to fit within the existing ledger structure.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or CO module consultant to understand the implications of changing ledger configurations.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, ensure to test the configuration in a development or quality assurance environment before applying it to production.
