• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_SWITCH_OP079 - Invoice reference type of document &1/&2 in year &3 is not transferred ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_SWITCH_OP079 indicates that there is an issue with the transfer of an invoice reference type of document in the specified year. This error typically arises in the context of the New General Ledger (New GL) functionality in SAP, particularly when dealing with document splitting or when trying to transfer data from the classic General Ledger to the New GL.
  Cause:
  
  
  Document Type Configuration: The document type used for the invoice may not be configured correctly for the New GL. This can happen if the document type is not allowed for transfer or if it is not set up to be used in the New GL environment.
  
  
  Missing Configuration: The necessary configuration for document splitting or the New GL may not be complete. This includes settings in the ledger, document types, or account assignments.
  
  
  Year-End Closing: If the document pertains to a closed fiscal year, it may not be possible to transfer it, especially if the year has been closed in the New GL.
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the transfer of the document reference.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Type Settings: Verify the configuration of the document type in transaction code OBA7 (Document Types) to ensure it is set up correctly for the New GL.
  
  
  Review New GL Configuration: Ensure that the New GL settings are properly configured. This includes checking the document splitting settings and ensuring that the relevant ledgers are active.
  
  
  Fiscal Year Status: Check the status of the fiscal year in question. If it is closed, you may need to reopen it or ensure that the document is processed in an open fiscal year.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the relevant documents to identify any issues that may be preventing the transfer. This can be done using transaction codes like FAGL_CHECK or similar tools.
