More Information on Ledger Groups and Their Definition:

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

You can assign any number of ledgers to a ledger group.
Each ledger group has one representative ledger.
If the leading ledger is in a group, the leading ledger <ZH>must</>
be the
representative ledger. These checks can be made independently of the
company codes.
If the leading ledger is not in a group, the checks are based on the
company codes.
If the ledger group has only one ledger, that ledger is the
representative ledger due to the above condition.
If all ledgers have a different fiscal year variant to the company
code, any ledger can be the representative ledger.
If there are both ledgers with the same fiscal year variant as the
company code and ledgers with a different fiscal year variant to the
company code, one ledger with the same fiscal year variant must be the
representative ledger.
