• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FML_CUST068 - You can't make crcy type changes; actl costg postgs exist in CoCode &1. ?

  The SAP error message FML_CUST068 indicates that you are trying to make changes to currency types in a company code where actual costing postings already exist. This is a common issue when dealing with financial data in SAP, particularly in the context of controlling (CO) and financial accounting (FI).
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  There are actual cost postings in the specified company code (CoCode) that reference the currency type you are trying to change.
  SAP prevents changes to currency types when there are existing transactions that could be affected, as this could lead to inconsistencies in financial reporting and data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Existing Postings:
  
  Review the actual cost postings in the specified company code. You can use transaction codes like KSB1 (Cost Centers: Actual Line Items) or CJI3 (Project Actual Line Items) to identify postings.
  
  
  
  Re-evaluate Currency Type Changes:
  
  If the currency type change is necessary, you may need to consider the implications of this change. It might be better to leave the currency type as is if there are significant postings.
  
  
  
  Archive or Delete Postings:
  
  If feasible, you can archive or delete the actual postings that are causing the issue. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires proper authorization and justification, as it can affect financial reporting.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  Engage with your finance or controlling team to understand the implications of changing currency types and to explore alternative solutions.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Company Code:
  
  If the currency type change is critical and cannot be avoided, consider performing the change in a different company code that does not have actual postings.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional guidance or updates related to this error message.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for checking postings and configurations, such as OB08 (Maintain Exchange Rates) and OBY6 (Define Currency Types).
  Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings for currency types in the controlling area and company code settings.
  Testing in Development: If you are considering making changes, it is advisable to test in a development or sandbox environment before applying changes in production.
  
  Always ensure that you have proper backups and documentation before making significant changes to financial configurations in SAP.
