• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_EMU305 - More than one leading ledger found in client &1 ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_EMU305 indicates that there is more than one leading ledger configured for a specific client in the system. In SAP S/4HANA, a leading ledger is the primary ledger used for financial reporting, and typically, there should only be one leading ledger per client.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  Multiple ledgers are defined as leading ledgers in the same client.
  There may have been a configuration error during the setup of the ledgers.
  The system might have been incorrectly migrated from an older version of SAP where multiple leading ledgers were allowed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that only one leading ledger is defined for the client. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check Current Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB22 (or SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> General Ledger Accounting -> Master Data -> G/L Accounts -> Prepare G/L Account Creation -> Define Ledgers).
  Review the list of ledgers configured for your client.
  
  
  
  Identify Leading Ledgers:
  
  Identify which ledgers are marked as leading. You can do this by checking the ledger settings.
  
  
  
  Remove Extra Leading Ledger:
  
  If you find more than one leading ledger, you will need to change the configuration to ensure that only one ledger is marked as leading.
  You can do this by selecting the ledger you want to keep as leading and ensuring that the others are set to non-leading.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that the changes are transported to the production environment after testing.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or Finance team for any specific guidelines or implications of changing ledger settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the changes, perform tests to ensure that the financial reporting and postings are functioning correctly with the new ledger configuration.
