• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_LEDGER_CUST016 - Ledger group &1 is created only with ledger &2 ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_LEDGER_CUST016 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of ledger groups and ledgers in the system. Specifically, it means that the ledger group you are trying to use (denoted as &1) is configured to be used only with a specific ledger (denoted as &2). This typically occurs in the context of Financial Accounting (FI) and General Ledger (G/L) accounting.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The ledger group you are trying to use is not set up to include the ledger you are attempting to post to. This can happen if the ledger group was created with specific restrictions or if the ledger was not assigned to the ledger group correctly.
  Incorrect Posting: You may be trying to post a transaction to a ledger that is not compatible with the selected ledger group.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Ledger Group Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for ledger groups in SAP (Transaction Code: OB22).
  Verify that the ledger group you are trying to use is correctly configured to include the ledger you are attempting to post to.
  If necessary, modify the configuration to include the appropriate ledger.
  
  
  
  Review Ledger Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the ledger you are trying to use is assigned to the correct ledger group.
  You can check this in the configuration settings for ledgers (Transaction Code: OB22 or through the relevant customizing path).
  
  
  
  Use Correct Ledger Group:
  
  If the ledger group is indeed restricted to a specific ledger, ensure that you are using the correct ledger group that corresponds to the ledger you want to post to.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or FI consultant for specific guidance on how to resolve this issue based on your system's configuration.
