How To Fix FMUP159 - FI document is ledger-relevant. Only FM is defined.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FMUP - Update in Funds Management

• Message number: 159

• Message text: FI document is ledger-relevant. Only FM is defined.

What causes this issue?

To adjust the original FI document, you have implemented the method
FMCH_BADI_2 in the BAdI FMCH (E_ REASSIGN_ORIG_FI_DOC = 'X'). One of
the account assignments to be adjusted is also updated in the new
general ledger. This means that the document line affected by this is
not reassigned to avoid creating inconsistent data. Implementing the
method FMCH_BADI3 (E_REASSIGN_FM_NEWGL = 'X'), enables you to reassign
the FM document. However, the FI document and the new general ledger are
not adjusted.
As of ES-PS 605, by activating the business function PSM_FM_REASSIGN,
you can adjust the FI document, the new general ledger and the FM
document.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMUP159 - FI document is ledger-relevant. Only FM is defined. ?

  The SAP error message FMUP159 indicates that there is an issue with the financial document in the context of Funds Management (FM) and Financial Accounting (FI). Specifically, the error states that the document is ledger-relevant, but only Funds Management (FM) is defined for it. This typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the configuration settings for the financial document and the expected settings for the ledger.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Mismatch: The document is being processed in a way that requires it to be relevant for both FI and FM, but the system is only set up to handle it as FM.
  Document Type Settings: The document type may not be correctly configured to allow for both FI and FM postings.
  Ledger Settings: The ledger settings in the system may not be properly defined to accommodate the document type being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the document type in the SAP system.
  Ensure that the document type is configured to be relevant for both FI and FM if that is the intended use.
  
  
  
  Review Ledger Settings:
  
  Check the ledger settings in the system to ensure that they are correctly defined to allow for the processing of documents that are relevant for both FI and FM.
  You may need to consult with your SAP FI/CO consultant to ensure that the ledger settings align with your organization's requirements.
  
  
  
  Adjust Posting Logic:
  
  If the document should only be relevant for FM, ensure that the posting logic is adjusted accordingly to prevent it from being processed as FI.
  Conversely, if it should be relevant for both, make the necessary adjustments to the configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform testing to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the document can be processed as intended.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as OBY6 (for document types) and OB37 (for ledger settings) to access the relevant configuration areas.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for Funds Management and Financial Accounting to understand the integration points and configuration requirements.
  User Roles: Ensure that the user roles and authorizations are set correctly to allow for the necessary changes to be made in the configuration.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a qualified SAP consultant for further assistance.
