• Message text: Change affects template CoCodes; please use transaction FINSC_LEDGER_T

What causes this issue?

You have tried to change the <LS>Settings Definition Level</> for
currency type &V1& from <LS>local</> to <LS>global</>. However, this
change would invalidate the predelivered company code templates with
company code-specific currency conversion settings for currency type
&V1&.

System Response

You cannot save this change with SAP transaction
<DS:TRAN.FINSC_LEDGER>FINSC_LEDGER</> because this would make the
configuration inconsistent.

How to fix this error?

Use SAP transaction
<DS:TRAN.FINSC_LEDGER_T>FINSC_LEDGER_T</> to maintain both types of
company codes, that is your company codes and the company code
templates. If you want to change the <LS>Settings Definition Level</>
for currency type &V1& from <LS>local</> to <LS>global</>, you have to
remove the company code-specific currency conversion settings for all
company codes for this currency type.
