• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FICORE141 - No postings are possible without fiscal year variants ?

  The SAP error message FICORE141 indicates that there are no fiscal year variants defined for the company code or the relevant configuration, which prevents any postings from being made. This error typically arises in the context of financial accounting when trying to post transactions without the necessary fiscal year settings.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Fiscal Year Variant: The primary cause of this error is that the fiscal year variant has not been assigned to the company code in the configuration settings.
  Incorrect Configuration: The fiscal year variant may be incorrectly configured or not properly linked to the company code.
  System Settings: The system may not have been set up to recognize the fiscal year variant for the specific posting period.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Variant Assignment:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Fiscal Year Change > Define Fiscal Year Variants.
  Ensure that a fiscal year variant is defined and that it is assigned to the relevant company code.
  
  
  
  Assign Fiscal Year Variant to Company Code:
  
  In the same SPRO path, navigate to Assign Fiscal Year Variant to Company Code.
  Check if the fiscal year variant is assigned to the company code you are trying to post to. If not, assign the appropriate fiscal year variant.
  
  
  
  Check Posting Periods:
  
  Ensure that the posting periods are open for the fiscal year you are trying to post to. This can be checked under Financial Accounting > Period-End Closing > Open and Close Posting Periods.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you have recently made changes to the fiscal year variant or company code settings, ensure that all configurations are correct and consistent.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to perform the posting again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Fiscal Year Variants: These define how the fiscal year is structured (e.g., calendar year, non-calendar year) and how periods are defined within that year.
  Company Code: This is the smallest organizational unit in financial accounting for which a complete self-contained set of accounts can be drawn up.
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like OB29 (to define fiscal year variants) and OB37 (to assign fiscal year variants to company codes) for quick access to the relevant configuration screens.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or Financial Accounting team for further investigation.
