• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /EACC/LOCAL_INTEGRTY016 - More than one leading BW assigned to accounting instance &1 ?

  The SAP error message /EACC/LOCAL_INTEGRTY016 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of multiple leading Business Warehouse (BW) systems to a single accounting instance. This situation can arise in environments where multiple BW systems are integrated with the same accounting instance, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following scenarios:
  
  Multiple BW Assignments: More than one BW system has been assigned as the leading BW for the same accounting instance. This can happen due to configuration errors or incorrect data entries during the setup of the integration between BW and the accounting system.
  Data Migration Issues: During data migration or system upgrades, incorrect configurations may lead to multiple BW systems being assigned inadvertently.
  Configuration Changes: Changes in the system landscape or configuration settings that were not properly managed can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check BW Assignments:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in the SAP system where the BW systems are assigned to the accounting instance.
  Identify all the BW systems that are currently assigned to the accounting instance in question.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicate Assignments:
  
  Determine which BW system should be the leading one for the accounting instance.
  Remove the other BW assignments to ensure that only one leading BW is assigned to the accounting instance.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings in both the BW and accounting systems to ensure that they are correctly set up.
  Make sure that the integration settings are consistent and do not allow for multiple leading BW assignments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the integration to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the data flow between the BW and accounting instance is functioning correctly.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document the changes made and the rationale behind the assignment of the leading BW to maintain clarity for future reference.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like RSA1 (for BW) and OBY6 (for accounting instance settings) to check and modify the configurations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or patches related to this error.
  Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
