  The SAP error message FAGL_REORGANIZATION684 indicates that the system is warning you about the residence time setting for the reorganization of the General Ledger (G/L) data. This message typically arises during the execution of the reorganization program for G/L accounts, which is part of the data archiving and management process in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when the residence time for the data to be retained before it can be reorganized is set to a value that is less than the recommended minimum (denoted by &1 days). The residence time is the period during which the data must remain in the system before it can be archived or deleted. Setting this time too low can lead to data integrity issues and may violate compliance requirements.

  To resolve this issue, you should adjust the residence time setting in your SAP system. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and enter transaction code SPRO.

  Adjust Residence Time:
  
  Look for the settings related to the residence time for G/L data.
  Increase the residence time to at least the recommended minimum (as indicated by the error message).
  
  
  
  Re-run the Reorganization:
  
  After adjusting the residence time, you can re-run the reorganization program to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
