• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_COFI006 - Document lines are selected exclusively using the rule ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_COFI006, which states "Document lines are selected exclusively using the rule," typically occurs in the context of financial document processing, particularly when dealing with the General Ledger (G/L) accounts in SAP. This error is often related to the configuration of document splitting or the way document lines are being selected for processing.
  Cause:
  
  
  Document Splitting Configuration: The error usually arises when the document splitting configuration is set up in such a way that it requires certain characteristics to be present in the document lines, but those characteristics are not met. This can happen if the document lines do not have the necessary account assignment objects (like cost centers, profit centers, etc.) that are required by the splitting rules.
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: If the document lines being processed do not conform to the rules defined in the splitting configuration, the system will not be able to select the lines for processing, leading to this error.
  
  
  Exclusivity of Selection: The error indicates that the selection of document lines is being done exclusively based on the defined rules, meaning that if any line does not meet the criteria, none of the lines will be processed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Document Splitting Configuration: Check the configuration settings for document splitting in the Financial Accounting (FI) module. Ensure that the necessary characteristics are defined and that the document lines being processed have the required account assignment objects.
  
  
  Check Document Lines: Review the document lines that are causing the error. Ensure that they have the necessary attributes (like cost centers, profit centers, etc.) that are required by the splitting rules.
  
  
  Adjust Rules: If necessary, adjust the splitting rules to be less restrictive or to accommodate the specific document lines being processed.
  
  
  Test with Sample Data: Create a test document with sample data that meets the required characteristics and see if the error persists. This can help identify if the issue is with specific data or the configuration itself.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on document splitting configuration.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like OBBH (for document splitting configuration) or FB50 (for posting documents) to review and adjust settings.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on document splitting and configuration settings.
  Community Forums: Consider checking SAP Community forums or other user groups for similar issues and solutions shared by other users.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP FI consultant or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
