How To Fix FAGL_LEDGER_CUST173 - Ledger &1 of determined accounting principle &2 is not in ledger group &4

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FAGL_LEDGER_CUST - New General Ledger: Customizing

• Message number: 173

• Message text: Ledger &1 of determined accounting principle &2 is not in ledger group &4

What causes this issue?

The system is trying to post the current document with ledger group &V4&
. Accounting principle &V2& has been determined as active in company
code &V3&. The ledgers in ledger group &V4& differ from the ledgers that
are assigned to the accounting principle determined &V2&.
Ledger &V1& of company code &V3& is assigned to the accounting principle
determined &V2&. However, this ledger is not updated by ledger group
&V4&.
When this document is processed further using this accounting principle,
this may generate general ledger documents that write ledger &V1& even
though the document at their origin does not write to this ledger.
This would constitute an accounting error because further processing
would be posted to the ledger without there being any cause due to the
current document.
The current posting must contain at least the ledgers that are assigned
to the accounting principles determined.

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

System Response

The posting is not permitted.
