  The SAP error message FAGL_EMU170 "No leading ledger found" typically occurs in the context of the New General Ledger (New GL) functionality in SAP. This error indicates that the system cannot find a leading ledger for the specified company code or that the configuration for the leading ledger is not set up correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Leading Ledger Configuration: The leading ledger has not been defined for the company code in the system.
  Incorrect Company Code Settings: The company code may not be assigned to a leading ledger.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from an older version of SAP or from another system, the leading ledger configuration may not have been properly transferred.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Leading Ledger Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB22 (Define Ledgers).

  Review Financial Accounting Settings:
