• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST107 - Ledger &1 is not a universal journal entry ledger ?

  The SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST107 indicates that the ledger you are trying to use is not configured as a universal journal entry ledger. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP S/4HANA system, where the Universal Journal (ACDOCA) is a key feature that integrates financial and controlling data into a single line item table.
  Cause:
  
  Ledger Configuration: The ledger you are trying to post to is not set up as a universal journal ledger. In S/4HANA, only ledgers that are configured as universal journals can be used for certain transactions.
  Incorrect Ledger Assignment: The ledger might not be assigned correctly in the system or may not be intended for the type of transaction you are attempting.
  Legacy System Migration: If you are migrating from an older version of SAP (like ECC) to S/4HANA, the ledgers may not have been properly converted or configured.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Ledger Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP and check the ledger settings. Ensure that the ledger you are trying to use is configured as a universal journal ledger.
  You can check this in the SAP GUI by navigating to SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > G/L Accounts > Prepare G/L Account Creation and reviewing the ledger settings.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Ledger:
  
  If you are using a non-universal journal ledger, switch to a ledger that is configured as a universal journal ledger for your transaction.
  
  
  
  Adjust Migration Settings:
  
  If you are migrating from an older system, ensure that the migration process has correctly set up the ledgers in the new S/4HANA environment. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to verify the migration settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the Universal Journal and ledger configuration for any specific requirements or steps that may have been missed.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the configuration and using the correct ledger, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Ledger Types: Understand the different types of ledgers in SAP S/4HANA, including leading and non-leading ledgers, and how they relate to the Universal Journal.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OB22 (for ledger settings) and OB37 (for ledger assignment) to manage and configure ledgers effectively.
