How To Fix FC105 - Accounts already exist in company code & (see long text)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FC - FI configuration error messages

• Message number: 105

• Message text: Accounts already exist in company code & (see long text)

What causes this issue?

Company code &V1& already contains G/L accounts. However, the table in
the reference company code is empty.

System Response

This situation means that you must maintain the table in the reference
company code manually. This is advisable if, for example, you only want
to create a few extra accounts in your target company code.
However, if you want to copy large amounts of the data from the
reference company code, it may be better to have the table filled
automatically. This will generate an entry in the target company code
for every account defined in the reference company code, each entry
having exactly the same number in the reference table. Then all you
will have to do is maintain any accounts that are different from those
in the reference company code. Having the system fill the table is only
possible if there are no entries for the target company code in either
the company code or the reference table.

How to fix this error?

If you want to have the system fill the reference table automatically,
you must first delete the G/L accounts in company code &V1&. To do this,
go to the Implementation Guide and select the path <LS>Financial
Accounting -> General Ledger Accounting -> G/L accounts -> Master data
-> Delete -> Delete G/L account</>. Select "G/L accounts" and enter
"&V1&" as the company code.
