• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMEUF162 - The link &1 &2 not used because FSs with higher priority are not included ?

  The SAP error message FMEUF162 indicates that a specific link (identified by &1 and &2) is not being used because there are financial statements (FSs) with higher priority that are not included in the current configuration. This typically occurs in the context of financial reporting or when configuring financial statement versions in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Higher Priority Financial Statements: The error suggests that there are other financial statements that have been assigned a higher priority than the one you are trying to use. In SAP, financial statements can be prioritized, and if a higher priority statement is available, the system will default to that instead.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the financial statement version settings, where the links or statements are not set up correctly.
  Missing Data: The financial statement version may not include all the necessary components or links that are required for the report to function correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Financial Statement Versions: Review the financial statement versions in your SAP configuration. Ensure that the links you are trying to use are correctly set up and that there are no higher priority statements that are conflicting.
  
  Navigate to Transaction Code OB58 to check the financial statement versions.
  
  
  Adjust Priorities: If necessary, adjust the priorities of the financial statements to ensure that the desired statement is being used. You can do this in the financial statement version configuration.
  Include Missing Statements: If there are higher priority statements that are not included, consider including them if they are relevant to your reporting needs.
  Review Link Configuration: Ensure that the links (identified by &1 and &2) are correctly configured and that they point to the appropriate financial statements.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on configuring financial statement versions and resolving related issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OB58 (Financial Statement Versions) and FS00 (G/L Account Master Record) for managing financial statements.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to financial statement configurations that might address this error.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to financial statement configurations.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in financial accounting within SAP.
