  The SAP error message FCO_AVC121 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of an account to multiple account groups within a specific profile. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Financial Accounting (FI) module, particularly when dealing with account determination and configuration settings.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when an account (denoted as &2 in the message) is assigned to more than one account group in the specified profile (denoted as &1).

  Check Account Assignments:

  Review the account group assignments for this account within the profile indicated by &1.
  
  
  
  Modify Assignments:
