• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST286 - More than one CO version assigned to the same non leading ledger (&1) ?

  The SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST286 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the assignment of controlling (CO) versions to non-leading ledgers in your SAP system. Specifically, it means that more than one CO version has been assigned to the same non-leading ledger, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple CO Versions: The primary cause of this error is that the same non-leading ledger has been assigned multiple CO versions in the system configuration. Each non-leading ledger should only have one CO version assigned to it.
  Configuration Error: This can occur due to incorrect configuration settings in the controlling area or during the setup of the ledgers in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that each non-leading ledger is assigned only one CO version. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check Current Assignments:
  
  Go to the SAP transaction code OBY6 (or use the appropriate transaction for your version) to check the assignment of CO versions to non-leading ledgers.
  Review the configuration for the controlling area and the non-leading ledgers to identify where the duplicate assignments are occurring.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicate Assignments:
  
  If you find that multiple CO versions are assigned to the same non-leading ledger, you will need to remove the duplicates.
  Ensure that only one CO version is assigned to each non-leading ledger.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and exit the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Controlling Area: In SAP, a controlling area is an organizational unit that represents a closed system used for cost accounting. It can have multiple ledgers, including leading and non-leading ledgers.
  CO Version: A CO version is a specific configuration that defines how costs are calculated and reported in the controlling module. Each version can have different settings for cost allocation, planning, and reporting.
  Non-Leading Ledger: Non-leading ledgers are used for parallel accounting purposes, allowing organizations to maintain different accounting principles (e.g., IFRS, local GAAP) within the same system.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, consider consulting with your SAP Basis or Finance team, as they may have additional insights or access to configuration settings that could be affecting the system.
