• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FICUSTOM144 - Different Funds Management Fiscal Years During Reversal ?

  The SAP error message FICUSTOM144 indicates that there is a mismatch in the fiscal years between the original document and the reversal document in the context of Funds Management (FM). This typically occurs when you attempt to reverse a document that was posted in a different fiscal year than the one you are currently working in.
  Cause:
  
  Different Fiscal Years: The original document was posted in one fiscal year, while the reversal is being attempted in another fiscal year.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Funds Management module that do not allow for reversals across different fiscal years.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have restrictions that prevent reversals across fiscal years.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Fiscal Year: Verify the fiscal year of the original document. Ensure that you are attempting to reverse it in the same fiscal year.
  Post Reversal in Correct Year: If the original document is in a previous fiscal year, you may need to switch to that fiscal year in your SAP session to perform the reversal.
  Use Year-End Closing Procedures: If you are at the end of a fiscal year, ensure that all year-end closing procedures have been followed. Sometimes, reversals may be restricted during this period.
  Consult Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the Funds Management module to see if there are any restrictions on reversing documents across fiscal years. This may require assistance from your SAP configuration team.
  Manual Adjustments: If necessary, consider making manual adjustments or journal entries to correct the financial records instead of performing a reversal.
