This error typically arises when you are trying to switch from the classic General Ledger to the New GL, and the system is unable to find any old items (i.e., line items from the classic GL) that are relevant for the specified date.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Old Items: The primary cause of this error is that there are no line items in the classic General Ledger for the specified date. This could happen if:
  
  The date you are trying to switch to is before any transactions were recorded in the classic GL.

  Incorrect Date: The date specified for the switch may not correspond to a period where there are existing line items.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the New GL settings that prevent the system from recognizing old items.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Old Items: Verify if there are any old items in the classic GL for the date you are trying to switch. You can do this by running reports in the classic GL to see if any transactions exist for that date.
  
  
  Adjust the Switch Date: If there are no old items for the specified date, consider changing the switch date to a period where there are existing transactions.
  
  
  Data Migration: If you believe there should be old items but they are not present, check the data migration process. Ensure that all relevant data from the classic GL has been migrated to the New GL correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the New GL migration process to ensure that all steps have been followed correctly.
  
  
  SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide specific notes or patches that address this issue.

  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) to check for old items in the classic GL.
  Migration Tools: Familiarize yourself with SAP's migration tools and processes, such as the Migration Cockpit, which can help in transferring data from the classic GL to the New GL.
  Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings for the New GL in transaction OBY6 to ensure that everything is set up correctly for the switch.
