SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FINS_IC_CUST - Manage Currencies: Customizing

• Message number: 012

• Message text: Changes were found in ledger &1, setting: "&2"

What causes this issue?

The current configuration settings of all ledgers, which are assigned to
the project<(>,<)> have been compared with a snapshot of these settings
that was taken at the time when preparations were completed.
If differences in project ledgers are found when you try to complete the
project, the system displays these differences.
In this case, a difference was found for ledger &V1& in setting: "&V2&"
(&V3&). The technical fieldname in the ledger table is "&V4&".
In general, subsequent configuration changes are not allowed and cannot
be handled properly during data processing. As a result, the current
data of ledger &V1& might be inconsistent.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

In non-production systems, you can reset the data in the project cockpit
first and then reset <LS>Complete Preparations</>. In this way, the
snapshot of the project configuration settings is updated the next time
you perform the <LS>Complete Preparations</> step.
Alternatively, you can change the message type (and even suppress the
message) in
<DS:TRAN.OBA5>Change Message Control</> using the application area
FINS_IC_CUST and message = 012.
If the message type is I (Info), S (Success) or W (Warning), the project
can then be completed.
Note: This function is only supported in non-production systems.
Intermediate changes to the project configuration will always cause an
error message in production systems and the project cannot be completed.
