• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST465 - Underlying ledger &1 of ext ledger &2 must not be a valuation ledger. ?

  The SAP error message FINS_ACDOC_CUST465 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the underlying ledger and the extension ledger in the context of Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO) modules. Specifically, the error states that the underlying ledger of the external ledger must not be a valuation ledger.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Configuration Issue: The underlying ledger (e.g., leading ledger) is incorrectly set up as a valuation ledger. Valuation ledgers are used for specific purposes, such as managing different valuation methods (e.g., IFRS vs. local GAAP), and they cannot be used as the base for extension ledgers.
  
  
  Incorrect Assignment: The external ledger (extension ledger) is assigned to a valuation ledger, which is not allowed in the system.
  
  
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in the data entry or configuration settings when setting up the ledgers.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Ledger Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) and navigate to the Financial Accounting (FI) section.
  Check the configuration of the ledgers under "Financial Accounting" -> "General Ledger" -> "Ledger" -> "Define Ledgers".
  Ensure that the underlying ledger is not set as a valuation ledger.
  
  
  
  Review External Ledger Settings:
  
  Verify the settings for the external ledger in the same configuration area.
  Ensure that the external ledger is correctly assigned to a non-valuation ledger.
  
  
  
  Adjust Assignments:
  
  If you find that the underlying ledger is incorrectly configured, you may need to change its type or reassign it to a different ledger that is not a valuation ledger.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to ledger configuration to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration by attempting the transaction that previously triggered the error.
