  The SAP error message FINS_FI_MIG194 indicates that during a productive run of a migration or data transfer process, there are existing ACDOCA records (the Universal Journal entries) that contain a specific text (SGTXT) which will be deleted. This typically occurs in the context of financial data migration or during the transition to the new General Ledger (New GL) in SAP S/4HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Records: The error arises because there are already records in the ACDOCA table that match the criteria defined in the migration process. The system is warning that these records will be deleted if the migration is executed.
  Data Integrity: The presence of these records may violate data integrity rules or the expected state of the database during the migration process.
  Migration Process: The migration process may be designed to clean up or transform data, and the existence of these records could interfere with that process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Existing Records: Before proceeding with the migration, review the existing ACDOCA records that are causing the error. You can use transaction codes like SE16N or SE11 to query the ACDOCA table and check the records with the specified SGTXT.
  Backup Data: If the records are important, ensure that you have a backup of the data before any deletion occurs.
  Delete or Archive Records: If the records are no longer needed, you may choose to delete them manually or archive them if they need to be retained for historical purposes.
  Adjust Migration Parameters: If the records should not be deleted, consider adjusting the parameters of the migration process to exclude these records or to handle them differently.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation related to the migration process you are executing. There may be specific guidelines or prerequisites that need to be followed.
  Testing: If possible, run the migration in a test environment first to identify any potential issues without affecting production data.
