• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCLM_CPL053 - Specify a cash pool before saving the cash concentration. ?

  The SAP error message FCLM_CPL053 indicates that a cash pool must be specified before you can save a cash concentration. This error typically occurs in the context of cash management and cash concentration processes within the SAP system, particularly in the Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM) module.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to save a cash concentration entry without having defined a cash pool. A cash pool is a collection of bank accounts that are managed together to optimize cash management and liquidity. If the system does not have a cash pool specified, it cannot process the cash concentration.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that a cash pool is specified in the cash concentration entry. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Access the Cash Concentration Transaction:
  
  Navigate to the transaction where you are trying to create or save the cash concentration (e.g., transaction code FCLM_CASH_CONC).
  
  
  
  Specify the Cash Pool:
  
  Look for a field labeled "Cash Pool" or similar in the cash concentration entry screen.
  Select or enter the appropriate cash pool that you want to associate with the cash concentration.
  
  
  
  Check Cash Pool Configuration:
  
  If you do not have any cash pools defined, you may need to create one. This can typically be done in the configuration settings of the cash management module.
  Ensure that the cash pool is properly configured with the necessary bank accounts and settings.
  
  
  
  Save the Entry:
  
  After specifying the cash pool, try saving the cash concentration entry again.
