How To Fix FAGL_SWITCH_LEAD_LDG110 - Fiscal year start &1 is inconsistent: &2 &3

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FAGL_SWITCH_LEAD_LDG - Technical Changeover of Leading View in General Ledger (New)

• Message number: 110

• Message text: Fiscal year start &1 is inconsistent: &2 &3

What causes this issue?

Different fiscal year variants are defined for the ledgers to be
switched. The start of the fiscal year &V1& is defined differently in
these fiscal year variants.
When the leading ledger is switched, the posting periods of the ledgers
to be switched must match.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If the fiscal year &V1& is before the switch year and the posting
periods <ZH>before</> the fiscal year &V1& are closed and remain closed,
you can then create and activate the project.
If the fiscal year &V1& is the year in which you want to perform the
switch, the switch project cannot be created. Define the fiscal year
variants &V2& and &V3& so that the posting periods in the fiscal year
before the switch match the switch year itself. To do this, you have to
move the switch of the leading ledger to a subsequent year. To align the
fiscal year variants, you can introduce a shortened fiscal year. For mo
