Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST372 - Ledger &1 is the leading ledger, please enter a non-leading ledger ?

  The SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST372 indicates that you are trying to perform an action that requires a non-leading ledger, but you have specified a leading ledger instead. This error typically occurs in the context of financial accounting and controlling when working with multiple ledgers in SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP.
  Cause:
  
  Leading Ledger vs. Non-Leading Ledger: In SAP, the leading ledger is the primary ledger used for financial reporting, while non-leading ledgers are used for additional reporting requirements (e.g., local GAAP, tax reporting). The system expects certain transactions to be recorded in non-leading ledgers only.
  Transaction Context: The specific transaction you are trying to execute may only be applicable to non-leading ledgers, such as certain adjustments or postings that are not allowed in the leading ledger.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Ledger Configuration: Ensure that you are using the correct ledger for the transaction. If the transaction requires a non-leading ledger, switch to the appropriate ledger in your transaction.
  Review Transaction Type: Verify the type of transaction you are trying to perform. If it is meant for a non-leading ledger, ensure that you are following the correct process for that ledger.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines to understand the specific requirements for the transaction you are attempting.
  System Configuration: If you believe that the transaction should be allowed in the leading ledger, consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to review the system configuration and determine if any changes are needed.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that deal with ledger postings, such as FB50 (General Ledger Account Posting) or F-02 (General Posting).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional insights or patches that may address the issue.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform transactions in the specified ledger.
