• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_REPORTING001 - This transaction is only valid for new General Ledger Accounting ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_REPORTING001 indicates that the transaction you are trying to execute is only valid for the New General Ledger (New G/L) Accounting. This error typically occurs when you attempt to use a reporting transaction that is designed for the New G/L in a system that is still using the classic General Ledger.
  Cause:
  
  Classic General Ledger: The system is configured to use the classic General Ledger instead of the New G/L. This means that the functionalities and features associated with the New G/L are not available.
  Transaction Type: The specific transaction you are trying to execute is intended for use with the New G/L, and it cannot be processed in the classic G/L environment.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check G/L Configuration: Verify if your system is set up for New G/L. You can do this by checking the configuration settings in the SAP system:
  
  Go to transaction code OBY6 (or use the path: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Migration > Activate New General Ledger Accounting).
  Ensure that the New G/L is activated for your company code.
  
  
  
  Migration to New G/L: If your organization is still using the classic G/L and you want to use the New G/L functionalities, you may need to plan a migration to the New G/L. This involves:
  
  Assessing the current setup and understanding the implications of migrating.
  Following the migration steps provided by SAP, which may include data preparation, configuration, and testing.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Transactions: If migrating to the New G/L is not feasible, consider using alternative transactions that are compatible with the classic G/L. You may need to consult with your SAP functional consultant to identify suitable alternatives.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on New G/L functionalities and migration processes.
