How To Fix FAGL_SWITCH_OP070 - Balance of ledger &1, company code &2 is not zero; see long text

FAGL_SWITCH_OP070 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FAGL_SWITCH_OP -

• Message number: 070

• Message text: Balance of ledger &1, company code &2 is not zero; see long text

What causes this issue?

Prior to the switch to open item management, the system performed
transfer postings that set the balance to zero for each ledger,
currency, and account assignment. Although the written-off amounts are
posted back again, they are nevertheless posted back to the default
account assignments that were previously entered on the selection
screen. The check explicitly excludes these account assignments.
Consequently, the balances on all other account assignments need to be
cleared.

System Response

This is not necessarily an error because it is possible that, within the
posting interface, processes are run that derive, supplement, or change
the account assignments. (An example of such a process would be
derivation rules.)
The switch to open item management for the account has already been made
for this point in time. The system only performs closing checks.

How to fix this error?

Check the account (balances, open items, clearing).
If you conclude that an error has indeed occurred, contact SAP.

Procedure for System Administrators

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