FAGL_REORGANIZATION072 - Ledger group &1 contains more than one ledger

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FAGL_REORGANIZATION - Reorganization

• Message number: 072

• Message text: Ledger group &1 contains more than one ledger

What causes this issue?

When the balances are transferred, the system generates at least one
document for each ledger. The system posts the balances with the
<DS:GLOS.A2B9B9BAA083B24795F23DAAFCA715E5>ledger group</> that has the
same name as the ledger.
As a general rule, the ledger group must <ZH>not</> contain any ledger
other than the ledger of the same name. However, ledger group &V1&
contains other ledgers in addition to ledger &V1&.

System Response

With the standard settings, this message has the type <LS>Error Message
</>; consequently, the transfer posting is <ZH>not</> made.
However, see the section "&SYS_ADMIN&".

How to fix this error?

Check whether the ledger group contains multiple ledgers.
Note:
If you want to make postings to a ledger group that contains more than
one ledger, you can override this error message by deploying it as a
warning message. In this way, the postings are made to all ledgers in
the ledger group. However, you must first ensure that the balances in
all affected ledgers actually need to be corrected.
This setting may be useful in cases where you do <ZH>not</> want to
correct balances directly in ledgers (such as day ledgers or week
ledgers) to which you usually make postings by means of ledger group
&V1& during valuations.
Example: Ledger T1 is a day ledger; consequently, postings <ZH>cannot</>
be made directly to this ledger. Ledger L1 contains balances that need
to be corrected. Ledger group L1 contains ledgers L1 and T1. If the
above-mentioned message is issued as a warning message only, postings
are made to ledger group L1, and the balances in ledgers L1 and T1 are
corrected.
