How To Fix FGL_PRE_CHECK033 - Multiple acctg princ. in CO (COGM): BAdI implementation found

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FGL_PRE_CHECK - Pre Transition Check FI-GL

• Message number: 033

• Message text: Multiple acctg princ. in CO (COGM): BAdI implementation found

What causes this issue?

Instead of using the <ZK>Multiple Accounting Principles in Controlling
(COGM)</> function with the <ZU>ledger approach</>, you are using the
accounts approach which is not supported in SAP S/4HANA. You have
<DS:SIMG.BADI_FCML_ACCOUNT_MODIFICATION> implemented a BAdI</> that
could do such a mapping.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

The mapping of a cost element to a different G/L account is not
supported. The account used must be identical in Controlling and
Financial Accounting.

How to fix this error?

Please delete the BAdI implementation.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FGL_PRE_CHECK033 - Multiple acctg princ. in CO (COGM): BAdI implementation found ?

  The SAP error message FGL_PRE_CHECK033 indicates that there are multiple accounting principles defined in the Controlling (CO) module, specifically in the context of Cost of Goods Manufactured (COGM). This error typically arises when there is a conflict in the configuration of accounting principles, particularly when a BAdI (Business Add-In) implementation is found that may not be handling the accounting principles correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Accounting Principles: The system has detected that there are multiple accounting principles configured for the same transaction or object in the CO module. This can happen if different accounting principles are set up for different purposes (e.g., local GAAP, IFRS, etc.) and the system is unable to determine which one to use.
  BAdI Implementation: A BAdI implementation related to the accounting principles may be causing conflicts or not handling the logic correctly, leading to the error message.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Accounting Principles: Check the configuration of accounting principles in the system. Ensure that there is a clear definition of which accounting principle should be used for the specific transaction or object in question.
  Check BAdI Implementation: If a BAdI implementation is involved, review the code to ensure that it correctly handles the selection of accounting principles. You may need to debug the BAdI implementation to identify any issues.
  Adjust Configuration: If necessary, adjust the configuration of the accounting principles to ensure that there is no overlap or conflict. This may involve consolidating principles or modifying the logic used to determine which principle to apply.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific BAdI implementation and accounting principles to understand any known issues or recommended practices.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the error is resolved and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAdI (Business Add-In): A BAdI is a type of enhancement in SAP that allows developers to add custom functionality to standard SAP applications without modifying the original code.
  Accounting Principles: These are the rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing financial statements. In SAP, multiple accounting principles can be configured to accommodate different reporting requirements.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on best practices for configuring accounting principles in CO.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
