  The SAP error message FAGL_LEDGER_CUST088 indicates that you are trying to use a package that cannot be transported in the context of customizing the General Ledger (G/L) accounts or ledgers. This typically occurs when you are attempting to create or modify a ledger or related settings in a development environment, and the system is enforcing transport rules.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Transportable Package: The package you are trying to use for your configuration is marked as non-transportable. This means that changes made in this package cannot be moved to other systems (like QA or Production) using the transport management system.
  Customizing Settings: The error may arise when you are trying to create or modify a ledger or related settings that are not allowed to be transported due to system settings or package configurations.

  Create a new transportable package and move your changes there.
  
  
  
  
  
  Create a New Package:
  
  If you need to create a new package, you can do this in transaction SE80 or SE21. Make sure to set the package as transportable during its creation.
  After creating the new package, you can reassign your customizing objects to this new package.
