• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_VALIDATION300 - Field &1 is added automatically when set &2 is used ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_VALIDATION300 typically occurs in the context of the General Ledger (G/L) accounting module when there is an issue with the validation settings for financial documents. This error indicates that a specific field (denoted as &1) has been automatically added to the validation due to the use of a particular set of rules (denoted as &2).
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by the following factors:
  
  Validation Rules: The validation settings in the system are configured in such a way that certain fields are required based on the conditions defined in the validation rules. When a specific set of rules is triggered, the system automatically adds the required field to ensure compliance with the validation logic.
  Missing Data: The field that is being added automatically may not have been populated in the document being processed, leading to the error message.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the validation rules in the Financial Accounting (FI) module, which could lead to unexpected behavior.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FAGL_VALIDATION300 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Validation Rules:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB28 (or the relevant transaction for your version) to review the validation rules that are set up in your system.
  Identify the specific validation set (&2) that is causing the issue and check the conditions that lead to the automatic addition of the field (&1).
  
  
  
  Review Document Data:
  
  Ensure that all required fields are populated in the document you are trying to post. If the field (&1) is mandatory based on the validation rules, make sure to provide the necessary data.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If the validation rules are too strict or not aligned with your business processes, consider adjusting them. You may need to work with your SAP FI consultant or system administrator to modify the validation logic.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the validation rules or document data, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on validation rules and how they work in the context of G/L accounting.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: OB28 (for validation rules), FB50 (for posting G/L documents), and FAGL_VIEW1 (for G/L account view).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented, review any user exits or BAdIs that might affect the validation process.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a qualified SAP consultant for further assistance.
