• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAC_ACC_DET_MESSAGE083 - Company code &1 and &2 have different controlling areas assigned. ?

  The SAP error message FAC_ACC_DET_MESSAGE083 indicates that there is a mismatch between the company codes and controlling areas assigned in your SAP system. Specifically, it means that the two company codes referenced in the error message are associated with different controlling areas, which can lead to issues when trying to perform certain financial transactions or reporting.
  Cause:
  
  Different Controlling Areas: The primary cause of this error is that the two company codes involved are assigned to different controlling areas in the system. Each company code can only be assigned to one controlling area, and if you attempt to perform operations that require them to be in the same controlling area, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue where the company codes were not set up correctly in relation to their controlling areas.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the setup of company codes or controlling areas can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Company Code Assignments:
  
  Go to the SAP transaction code OBY6 (or navigate through the menu: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Settings > Company Code > Assign Company Code to Controlling Area).
  Verify the controlling area assignments for the company codes involved in the error message. Ensure that they are assigned to the same controlling area if that is the intended configuration.
  
  
  
  Reassign Controlling Areas:
  
  If the company codes need to be in the same controlling area, you may need to reassign one of the company codes to the correct controlling area. This can be done in the same configuration area mentioned above.
  Be cautious when making changes, as this can affect financial reporting and other related processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant to understand the implications of changing controlling area assignments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that financial transactions can be processed correctly.
