• Message class: FAGL_MIG - Migration to New General Ledger Accounting

• Message number: 224

• Message text: Migration date &1 is in the past

What causes this issue?

You want to assign a new ledger to a company code. The date from which
this assignment becomes valid is determined using the migration date.
However, the migration date is in the past.

System Response

Data can only be built subsequently in the new ledger that has been
assigned provided that the new ledger is <ZH>not</> intended to replace
an existing account approach. Otherwise, the necessary conversion
activities <ZH>cannot</> be performed.

How to fix this error?

If you want to replace an existing account approach with the new ledger,
you need to cancel the maintenance dialog and specify a migration date
in the future. You can then assign the ledger to the company code.
If you want to implement the new ledger without using it to replace an
existing account approach, you can save the entry. Note, however, that
this increases the effort required for building consistent data for the
ledger.
