  The SAP error message FAGL_SWITCH_OP037 indicates that the specified company code still contains items with the field XOPVW set to SPACE. This typically occurs when you are trying to switch to the new General Ledger (G/L) accounting but there are still items in the old G/L that need to be addressed.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the system has detected that there are still line items in the old G/L that have not been fully processed or cleared. The XOPVW field is used to indicate whether a line item is relevant for the new G/L. If it is set to SPACE, it means that the item is not yet assigned to the new G/L.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to perform the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Affected Items:
  
  Use transaction code FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) or FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) to find the line items in the specified company code that are causing the issue.
  You can filter the results based on the company code and check for items where XOPVW is SPACE.
  
  
  
  Clear or Process the Items:
  
  Depending on the nature of the items, you may need to clear them, post them to the new G/L, or take other corrective actions.
  If the items are open items, you may need to clear them using transaction F-32 (Clear Customer) or F-44 (Clear Vendor) as appropriate.
  
  
  
  Check for Open Items:
  
  Ensure that there are no open items in the old G/L that need to be processed. This includes checking for any pending transactions that may need to be completed.
  
  
  
  Run the Report:
  
  You can also run the report FAGL_SWITCH_OP to check for any inconsistencies or items that need to be addressed before switching to the new G/L.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Switch:
