• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_MM_RECON108 - Specified period &1 differs from General Ledger period &2 of ledger &3 ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_MM_RECON108 indicates a discrepancy between the specified period in the Material Management (MM) module and the General Ledger (GL) period in the Financial Accounting (FI) module. This error typically arises during the reconciliation process between MM and FI, particularly when trying to post or reconcile transactions that involve both modules.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The period specified for a transaction in the MM module does not match the open period in the corresponding GL ledger.
  The GL period is closed or restricted for posting, while the MM transaction is trying to post to that period.
  There may be a configuration issue where the periods in MM and FI are not aligned.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FAGL_MM_RECON108 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Posting Periods:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB52 to check the open and closed posting periods for the relevant company code and ledger.
  Ensure that the period you are trying to post to in MM is open in the GL.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Posting Period:
  
  If the period is closed in the GL, you may need to open it temporarily to allow the posting or adjust the MM transaction to a valid open period.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the configuration for the posting periods in both MM and FI is consistent. This includes checking the settings in the Financial Accounting (FI) and Material Management (MM) modules.
  
  
  
  Transaction Code for Reconciliation:
  
  Use transaction code F.19 (or F.13 for automatic clearing) to perform the reconciliation process again after ensuring the periods are aligned.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  If you are unsure about changing periods or configurations, consult with your finance team or SAP support to ensure compliance with accounting policies.
