• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_GBIW007 - If currency type '00' is extracted, 'RTCUR' must be in the field list ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_GBIW007 typically occurs in the context of Financial Accounting (FI) and is related to the extraction of data from the General Ledger (G/L) in the context of the Business Intelligence (BI) or Business Warehouse (BW) environment. This error indicates that when you are trying to extract data with currency type '00' (which usually represents the company code currency), the field 'RTCUR' (which represents the currency amount) must be included in the field list for the extraction.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of the 'RTCUR' field in the data extraction configuration when you are trying to extract data that includes currency type '00'. The system requires this field to properly handle the currency conversion and ensure that the financial data is accurately represented.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the 'RTCUR' field is included in your extraction configuration. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the DataSource Configuration:
  
  Go to the DataSource configuration in the SAP system (transaction code: RSA6 or RSA5).
  Locate the DataSource that you are using for the extraction.
  
  
  
  Modify the Field List:
  
  Edit the field list for the DataSource.
  Ensure that the 'RTCUR' field is included in the list of fields to be extracted.
  
  
  
  Check the InfoPackage:
  
  If you are using an InfoPackage to load data into BW, check the settings of the InfoPackage to ensure that it is configured to include the 'RTCUR' field.
  
  
  
  Test the Extraction:
  
  After making the changes, test the extraction process again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, remember to transport your changes to the production environment once you have confirmed that the issue is resolved.
