Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST367 - Ledger &1 is an extension ledger, please enter a standard ledger ?

  The SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST367 indicates that you are trying to perform an operation that requires a standard ledger, but you have specified an extension ledger instead. This error typically occurs in the context of financial postings or when working with the General Ledger (G/L) in SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP.
  Cause:
  
  Extension Ledger Usage: The system is designed to differentiate between standard ledgers and extension ledgers. An extension ledger is used to capture additional information or adjustments on top of a standard ledger, but it cannot be used in all contexts where a standard ledger is required.
  Incorrect Ledger Selection: The user may have inadvertently selected an extension ledger when the system expected a standard ledger for the transaction being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a Standard Ledger: When prompted for a ledger, ensure that you are selecting a standard ledger (e.g., 0L for the leading ledger) instead of an extension ledger. You can check the available ledgers in your system configuration.
  Review Configuration: If you are unsure which ledgers are standard or extension, you can review the ledger configuration in the SAP system:
  
  Go to Transaction Code: OB22 (for ledger configuration).
  Check the settings for the ledgers defined in your system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to your organization's documentation or SAP help resources to understand the specific ledgers configured in your system and their intended use.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the differences between standard and extension ledgers to prevent future occurrences of this error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Ledger Types: In SAP, ledgers can be categorized as:
