How To Fix FAGL_CL060 - Customizing already exists for cash flow reporting in FI-CA

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FAGL_CL - Cash Ledger

• Message number: 060

• Message text: Customizing already exists for cash flow reporting in FI-CA

What causes this issue?

You can use the cash flow reporting of Fund Accounting (PSM-FA) in
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) also.
When transferring postings from Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable
to the general ledger, receivables and payables contain both the tax
portion as well as the net receivable; in other words, the system only
posts the gross amount to the reconciliation account.
As soon as you activate cash flow reporting in Contract Accounts
Receivable and Payable, the system splits receivables between the tax
portion and net amount with the transfer to the general ledger; the
system derives the account assignment RE_ACCOUNT from the company code
and the tax code.

System Response

You have already activated cash flow reporting in Contract Accounts
Receivable and Payable. It is not possible to activate cash flow
reporting simultaneously in both Contract Accounts Receivable and
Payable and Fund Accounting.
You cannot activate the transfer of the tax account as the value for
account assignment RE_ACCOUNT here.

How to fix this error?

You define the settings for cash flow reporting in Customizing for
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under <LS>Closing Operations ->
Cash Flow Analysis</> in activity <DS:SIMG._FICACLCF_V_FAGL_CAS>Define
Tax Accounts</>.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
