How To Fix FAGL_SWITCH_LEAD_LDG111 - Fiscal year end &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: 111

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

What causes this issue?

Different fiscal year variants are defined for the ledgers to be
switched. The end 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 the year in which you want to perform the
switch, you can create and activate the project, provided that you
ensure that the posting periods <ZH>after</> the fiscal year&V1& are
closed and remain closed when the switch project is carried out.
If the fiscal year &V1& is the year directly before the switch year, 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 more
