• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FIS_FIN_GL015 - Company codes selected do not all have the same acc.princ. assignment ?

  The SAP error message FIS_FIN_GL015 indicates that the company codes selected do not all have the same account principle assignment. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform a financial transaction or reporting that involves multiple company codes, but those company codes have different settings for account principles.
  Cause:
  
  Different Account Principles: Each company code in SAP can be assigned a different accounting principle (e.g., IFRS, GAAP). If you attempt to execute a transaction that involves multiple company codes with differing account principles, SAP will throw this error.
  Configuration Issues: The company codes may not have been configured correctly in the system, leading to inconsistencies in their accounting principles.
  Transaction Type: Certain transactions may require that all involved company codes share the same accounting principles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Company Code Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBY6 (or navigate through the menu: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger Accounting > Master Data > G/L Account > Prepare G/L Account Creation).
  Verify the account principle assignment for each company code involved in the transaction. Ensure they are consistent.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transaction:
  
  If possible, limit the transaction to a single company code that has a consistent account principle.
  If you need to include multiple company codes, ensure they all share the same accounting principle.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct settings or need to change the account principle for a company code, consult with your SAP configuration team or a financial consultant who understands the implications of changing accounting principles.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the importance of consistent accounting principles when working with multiple company codes.
  Document the procedures for setting up and maintaining company code configurations to prevent future occurrences of this error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OBY6 for company code settings and OBY1 for defining the global parameters for company codes.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message.
  User Roles: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and permissions to view and modify company code settings.
  
  By addressing the underlying cause of the error and ensuring consistent configurations across company codes, you can resolve the FIS_FIN_GL015 error effectively.
