• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST028 - Missing companies have been assigned to the leading ledger ?

  The SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST028 indicates that there are missing company codes that have not been assigned to the leading ledger in the system. This typically occurs during the configuration of the Financial Accounting (FI) module, particularly when dealing with the New General Ledger (New GL) functionality.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Company Code Assignment: The leading ledger (usually the 0L ledger) does not have all the necessary company codes assigned to it. This can happen if new company codes were created but not assigned to the leading ledger.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings of the New GL, particularly in the ledger settings.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from an older system or if company codes were created after the initial setup, they may not have been properly assigned to the leading ledger.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Company Code Assignment:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB22 (or navigate through the menu: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > Prepare for Migration > Define Company Code).
  Verify that all relevant company codes are assigned to the leading ledger (usually 0L).
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Company Codes:
  
  If you find any company codes that are not assigned, you can assign them to the leading ledger in the same configuration screen (OB22).
  Ensure that the company codes are correctly configured and that they meet all necessary prerequisites.
  
  
  
  Review Ledger Settings:
  
  Check the settings for the leading ledger in transaction code OB37 (or navigate through the menu: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > Prepare for Migration > Define Ledgers).
  Ensure that the leading ledger is properly configured to include all necessary company codes.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If changes are made in a development environment, ensure that they are transported to the production environment correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that financial postings can be processed without issues.
