• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMRP101 - FM areas have different fiscal year variants or YEARPOS ?

  The SAP error message FMRP101 indicates that there is a mismatch in the fiscal year variants or the year position (YEARPOS) between different Funds Management (FM) areas. This error typically occurs when you are trying to execute a transaction that involves multiple FM areas that have been configured with different fiscal year settings.
  Cause:
  
  Different Fiscal Year Variants: Each FM area can be assigned a different fiscal year variant. If you attempt to process transactions involving multiple FM areas with differing fiscal year variants, SAP will raise this error.
  Different YEARPOS Settings: The YEARPOS setting defines the position of the fiscal year in the calendar year. If the YEARPOS settings differ between FM areas, it can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FMRP101 error, you need to ensure that the FM areas involved in the transaction have consistent fiscal year variants and YEARPOS settings. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Variants:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB29 (Define Fiscal Year Variant).
  Review the fiscal year variants assigned to the FM areas involved in the transaction.
  If they are different, you may need to align them by either changing the fiscal year variant of one of the FM areas or ensuring that the transaction only involves FM areas with the same fiscal year variant.
  
  
  
  Check YEARPOS Settings:
  
  Use transaction code FMX1 (Define FM Area) to check the YEARPOS settings for the FM areas.
  Ensure that the YEARPOS settings are the same for all FM areas involved in the transaction.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If necessary, adjust the configuration of the FM areas to ensure consistency. This may involve changing the fiscal year variant or YEARPOS for one or more FM areas.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the transaction again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Fiscal Year Variant: This defines the structure of the fiscal year, including the number of periods and special periods.
  YEARPOS: This indicates the position of the fiscal year in relation to the calendar year (e.g., whether the fiscal year starts in January, April, etc.).
  Transaction Codes:
  
  OB29: Define Fiscal Year Variant
  FMX1: Define FM Area
  FMX2: Change FM Area
  FMX3: Display FM Area
  
  
  
  Additional Considerations:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to the configuration, it is advisable to consult with your SAP FI/CO or FM module consultant.
  Always ensure that any changes made are in line with your organization's financial policies and procedures.
