• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_ML_MIG088 - Val.Area & for activ. Act.Cost Comp. Split only Price Determ. = 2 allowed ?

  The SAP error message FINS_ML_MIG088 typically occurs during the migration or configuration of the Material Ledger (ML) in SAP, particularly when dealing with the activation of the Actual Cost Component Split (ACCS) feature.
