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: 112

• Message text: Ledger-specific documents exist for Treasury/Loans components

What causes this issue?

You want to switch the leading ledger.
However, the system contains ledger-specific documents for the <LS>
Treasury and Risk Management (TRM)</> and/or <LS>Loans Management
(FS-CML)</> components.

System Response

If this message appears as an error message, you <ZH>cannot</> carry out
a project for switching the leading ledger.
However, after carefully considering the effects and risks, you can
change the message type from <LS>error</> to <LS>warning</> (see section
"&SYS_ADMIN&").

How to fix this error?

If you are using the <LS>Treasury and Risk Management (TRM)</> and/or
<LS>Loans Management (FS-CML)</> components productively with a ledger
solution (that is, the values are updated in parallel ledgers), it is
<ZH>not</> possible to switch the leading ledger due to the architecture
of the <LS>Treasury and Risk Management (TRM)</> and <LS>Loans
Management (FS-CML)</> components on one hand and the <LS>Financial
Accounting (FI)</> component on the other.
This is because the leading ledger is used as an operational paying
ledger and a paying valuation area is defined in the transaction manager
of TRM. In the case of a switch of the leading valuation, time-dependent
changes would have to be made to this setting from the date of the
switch. However, this is <ZH>not</> possible when the leading ledger is
switched.
