• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FAGL_VPROV014 - You have not chosen "Record Type"; only actual data will be selected ?

  The SAP error message FAGL_VPROV014 indicates that the user has not selected a "Record Type" when trying to execute a report or transaction related to the General Ledger (G/L) in the Financial Accounting module. This message typically appears when you are trying to view or analyze financial data, and it is essential to specify the type of records you want to include in your selection.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system requires a specific "Record Type" to filter the data correctly. The "Record Type" determines whether you are looking at actual data, planned data, or other types of financial records. If you do not select a record type, the system defaults to only showing actual data, which may not be what you intended.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Access the Transaction: Go to the transaction or report where you encountered the error (e.g., FAGLB03 for G/L account balance display).

  Actual Data
  Plan Data
  Statistical Data
  etc.
  
  
  
  Choose the Appropriate Record Type: Select the record type that you want to analyze. If you only want to see actual data, ensure that you select the corresponding option.
  
  
  Execute the Report: After selecting the record type, execute the report again. The error should no longer appear, and you should see the desired data.
  
  
  Related Information:
