• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FE011 - Financial statement item and summarization line item are identical ?

  The SAP error message FE011 indicates that there is a conflict between the financial statement item and the summarization line item in your financial reporting setup. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or modify a financial statement version, and the system detects that the financial statement item (FS item) and the summarization line item (which is supposed to summarize multiple FS items) are the same.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Configuration: The financial statement item and the summarization line item are configured to be the same, which is not allowed because summarization lines are meant to aggregate multiple items.
  Incorrect Mapping: The mapping of financial statement items to summarization lines may have been incorrectly set up, leading to this conflict.
  System Configuration Error: There may be an error in the configuration of the financial statement version or the underlying data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Financial Statement Version Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB58 (or the relevant transaction for your version of SAP) to review the financial statement version.
  Ensure that the summarization line items are correctly defined and do not match any individual financial statement items.
  
  
  
  Modify the Summarization Line Item:
  
  If you find that the summarization line item is indeed set to the same value as a financial statement item, change it to a different value that aggregates the relevant financial statement items.
  
  
  
  Review Related Settings:
  
  Check the settings in the financial statement version to ensure that all items are correctly categorized and that there are no overlaps.
  Ensure that the hierarchy of financial statement items is correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the financial statement version to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for guidance on setting up financial statement versions correctly.
