• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCOM_MD011 - Profit center &1 can only be created in language &2 ?

  The SAP error message FCOM_MD011 indicates that there is an issue with the creation of a profit center due to language settings. Specifically, the message states that the profit center can only be created in a specific language, which is indicated by the placeholder &2. The profit center you are trying to create is associated with a different language setting, which is causing the error.
  Cause:
  
  Language Settings: The error typically arises when the language in which you are trying to create the profit center does not match the language settings defined in the system for that profit center.
  Master Data Configuration: The profit center master data may have been configured to only allow creation in a specific language, which is not the language you are currently using.
  User Profile Language: The language set in your user profile may not match the required language for creating the profit center.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Language Settings:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct language in your SAP session. You can change the language by logging out and logging back in with the desired language code (e.g., EN for English, DE for German).
  
  
  
  Create in Required Language:
  
  If the profit center must be created in a specific language (as indicated by &2), switch to that language and attempt to create the profit center again.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for profit centers in the SAP system to see if there are any restrictions on the languages allowed for creation. This may require access to the configuration settings in the SAP IMG (Implementation Guide).
  
  
  
  User Profile Settings:
  
  Verify your user profile settings to ensure that the language is set correctly. You can check this in the user settings (transaction SU01).
