• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FI_E082 - Fiscal year selected in FM is different from the one posted in FI-GL ?

  The SAP error message FI_E082 indicates that there is a mismatch between the fiscal year selected in the Funds Management (FM) module and the fiscal year that has been posted in the Financial Accounting (FI) General Ledger (GL). This error typically arises when trying to post a transaction in FM that does not align with the fiscal year of the corresponding FI-GL entry.
  Cause:
  
  
  Fiscal Year Mismatch: The fiscal year in the FM document does not match the fiscal year of the document in the FI-GL. This can happen if:
  
  The fiscal year has been changed or closed in one module but not in the other.
  The transaction is being posted for a different fiscal year than what is currently open in the FM module.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the FM or FI modules that are not aligned, leading to discrepancies in fiscal year settings.
  
  
  Posting Periods: The posting periods for the fiscal year may not be open in one of the modules, causing the error when trying to post.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Settings:
  
  Verify the fiscal year settings in both the FM and FI modules. Ensure that they are aligned and that the same fiscal year is being used in both modules.
  
  
  
  Open Posting Periods:
  
  Check the posting periods in both FM and FI. Make sure that the posting period for the fiscal year you are trying to post to is open in both modules. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP.
  
  
  
  Transaction Review:
  
  Review the transaction you are trying to post. Ensure that it is intended for the correct fiscal year and that all relevant data is accurate.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If there are configuration issues, you may need to adjust the settings in the FM or FI modules to ensure they are consistent. This may involve working with your SAP configuration team.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on resolving fiscal year discrepancies in FM and FI.
