• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FR320 - Chart of accounts & has already been assigned ?

  The SAP error message FR320 indicates that a chart of accounts (CoA) has already been assigned to a company code or another organizational unit. This error typically arises when you attempt to assign a chart of accounts that is already in use or when there is an attempt to reassign a chart of accounts to a company code that already has a different chart of accounts assigned.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The chart of accounts you are trying to assign is already linked to another company code or organizational unit.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an attempt to assign a chart of accounts that is not compatible with the existing configuration.
  Data Integrity Issues: There might be inconsistencies in the data or configuration settings within the SAP system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FR320 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Assignments:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBY6 (or navigate through the menu: Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > G/L Accounts > Preparation > Assign Company Code to Chart of Accounts).
  Verify which chart of accounts is currently assigned to the company code in question.
  
  
  
  Remove Existing Assignment:
  
  If you need to change the chart of accounts, you may need to first remove the existing assignment. This can be done in the same transaction (OBY6), but be cautious as this may affect existing financial data.
  
  
  
  Assign the Correct Chart of Accounts:
  
  After ensuring that the previous assignment is removed (if necessary), you can proceed to assign the desired chart of accounts to the company code.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies or configurations that might prevent the assignment. This includes checking for any active transactions or settings that might be linked to the current chart of accounts.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for any specific configurations or restrictions that may apply to your system.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OBY6 for assignments and OBD2 for defining chart of accounts.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the chart of accounts and company code assignments.
