  The SAP error message FAGL_LEDGER_CUST075 typically occurs in the context of the New General Ledger (New GL) functionality in SAP. This error indicates that the system is trying to perform an operation that is only relevant when the "Write Classic General Ledger" indicator is set, but it is not set in your configuration.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to access or modify data in a ledger that is configured for the New General Ledger, but the system is expecting the "Write Classic General Ledger" indicator to be active. This situation usually occurs when:
  
  The ledger is set up for New GL, and the system is trying to perform an operation that is only applicable to Classic GL.
  The configuration settings for the ledger do not align with the operations being performed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Ledger Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the ledger in transaction code OB22 (or through the SPRO menu).
  Verify if the "Write Classic General Ledger" indicator is set. If your organization is using the New GL, you may not need this indicator, and you should ensure that your operations are compatible with the New GL.
  
  
  
  Adjust Your Operations:
  
  If you are trying to perform an operation that is not compatible with the New GL, consider adjusting your approach. For example, if you are trying to post transactions or access reports that are specific to Classic GL, you may need to switch to using New GL-compatible transactions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to New GL and Classic GL to understand the differences and ensure that your processes align with the correct ledger type.
