How To Fix FINS_RECON795 - &1: Line Items ANEP/ANEA differs from Totals ANLC

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FINS_RECON - SAP S/4HANA Finance Migration: Reconciliation

• Message number: 795

• Message text: &1: Line Items ANEP/ANEA differs from Totals ANLC

What causes this issue?

The totals of the line items do <ZH>not</> match the totals records.

System Response

The system checks whether the totaled values of the line items in tables
<AB>ANEP</> and <AB>ANEA</> match the totals in table <AB>ANLC</>.
Differences can cause reconciliation errors after the data migration;
they are logged in an error message.
With the migration, only balance values carried forward for a fiscal
year from the totals table are migrated: the relevant values of the
current fiscal year are migrated from the line items. After the
migration, the values of the former totals table <AB>ANLC</> are
represented by the totaled migrated line items.
In migration step <AB>R24</> (<LS>Check Migration of Balances</>), the
total of these migrated line items is compared with the former totals
tables. If there was already a difference between the line item and the
totals table, this usually causes a mismatch. Error message
<AB>FINS_RECON 761</> (<LS><(>&<)>1: Mismatched balance for ANLC</>) is
issued for the fixed asset and fiscal year.
Recommendation:
You can use analysis program <AB>FINS_MIG_AA_CHECK_RC45</> to analyze
these error messages in detail when reconciling the migrated line items
with the former totals tables. The program highlights the differences
that existed with the same amount before the migration in a different
color. This enables you to see which differences existed before the
migration and which may have been caused by the migration.

How to fix this error?

Open Fiscal Years: Calculating Depreciation
For open fiscal years, execute transaction <AB>AFAR</> (<LS>Recalculate
Depreciation</>) immediately before installing SAP S/4HANA Finance.
Closed Fiscal Years: How to Handle Differences
For closed fiscal years, the following applies:
You can <ZH>ignore</> differences that exist because of inconsistent
reversal transactions. In this case, the system issues message
<AB>FINS_RECON 791</> (<LS>There is no reversal line item in table ANEP
</>) for the fixed asset and fiscal year.
As in such a case the inconsistent reversal document is not migrated,
the error will <ZH>not</> occur after the migration.
You can <ZH>accept</> the existing differences, especially differences
from a local currency change or in non-posting depreciation areas. This
means:
The annual reports that were based on the totals table <AB>ANLC</> until
now may display differing results after the migration (on the basis of
migrated line items).
The balance carryforward to the following year that took place on the
basis of totals values remains unchanged. This means that a value change
would only be visible in reporting of the fiscal year in which the
difference occurred.
These differences are displayed in migration step <AB>M24</> (<LS>Check
Migration of Balances</>) as errors. You can use program
<AB>FINS_MIG_AA_CHECK_RC45</> to check that they are in fact only
accepted differences that existed prior to the migration.
You can <ZH>analyze</> the existing difference and <ZH>adjust</> it,
<ZH>if necessary</>.
Consider effects on reports that may have already been published.
If an adjustment is necessary, contact your SAP Support.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_RECON795 - &1: Line Items ANEP/ANEA differs from Totals ANLC ?

  The SAP error message FINS_RECON795 indicates a discrepancy between the line items in the asset accounting tables (ANEP for line items and ANEA for asset history) and the totals in the asset master data table (ANLC). This error typically arises during reconciliation processes, such as when running the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) reconciliation or during year-end closing activities.
  Cause:
  The discrepancy can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Data Inconsistencies: Manual adjustments or incorrect postings in asset accounting can lead to mismatches between line items and totals.
  Incomplete Transactions: If transactions related to asset acquisitions, retirements, or transfers are not fully processed, it can result in inconsistencies.
  Program Errors: Bugs or issues in the SAP system or custom programs that manipulate asset data can lead to discrepancies.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system or during an upgrade, inconsistencies may arise if the migration was not handled correctly.
  Missing or Incorrect Period Closing: If periods are not closed properly, it can lead to discrepancies in the totals.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  Run the Reconciliation Report: Use transaction code AR01 (Asset History Sheet) or S_ALR_87011963 (Asset Balances) to identify discrepancies between line items and totals.
  Check for Inconsistencies: Use transaction code AW01N to review the asset master data and line items. Look for any missing or incorrect postings.
  Analyze the Data: Use transaction code S_ALR_87012000 (Asset Transaction Report) to analyze the transactions related to the affected assets.
  Correct the Data: If you identify any incorrect postings, you may need to reverse or adjust them. This may involve using transaction codes like AB08 (Cancel Asset Posting) or ABUMN (Transfer within Asset).
  Re-run the Reconciliation: After making corrections, re-run the reconciliation process to check if the error persists.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues related to this error message.
  Engage SAP Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP Support for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AW01N, AR01, AB08, and ABUMN for asset management.
  SAP Notes: Regularly check for updates and notes related to Asset Accounting and reconciliation processes.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on Asset Accounting for best practices in managing assets and ensuring data integrity.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the discrepancies causing the FINS_RECON795 error.
