• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FGL_SFIN_NGLM007 - Data is already available in FI-GL (new); migration cancelled ?

  The SAP error message FGL_SFIN_NGLM007 indicates that there is an issue during the migration process to the new General Ledger (New GL) in SAP. Specifically, this error occurs when the system detects that data already exists in the Financial Accounting General Ledger (FI-GL) for the period you are trying to migrate. This situation can arise during the migration to the New GL, where the system expects that certain data should not already be present in the FI-GL.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Data: The primary cause of this error is that there are already posted documents in the FI-GL for the period you are trying to migrate. The migration process requires that the target period be free of any existing postings to ensure data integrity.
  Incorrect Migration Settings: The migration settings or parameters may not be correctly configured, leading to conflicts with existing data.
  Incomplete Prior Steps: If previous steps in the migration process were not completed successfully, it could lead to inconsistencies that trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Data: Review the FI-GL for the period in question to identify any existing postings. You can use transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) or FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) to check for any entries.
  Postings in the Migration Period: If there are postings in the migration period, you may need to either reverse those postings or move the migration to a different period that does not have existing data.
  Adjust Migration Parameters: Ensure that the migration parameters are set correctly. This may involve reviewing the configuration settings in the New GL migration cockpit.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the New GL migration process for any specific instructions or prerequisites that may have been overlooked.
  Use Transaction SFIN_MIGRATION: If applicable, use the transaction code SFIN_MIGRATION to check the migration status and see if there are any additional errors or warnings that need to be addressed.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or fixes related to this error message.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Migration to New GL: The migration to the New GL involves several steps, including data preparation, configuration, and execution of the migration itself. It is crucial to follow the prescribed steps in the correct order.
  Backup Data: Before making any changes or reversals, ensure that you have a backup of your data to prevent any loss.
  Testing: If possible, perform the migration in a test environment first to identify any potential issues before executing it in the production environment.
  SAP Support: If the issue persists and you are unable to resolve it, consider reaching out to SAP Support for assistance.
