• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FR489 - Multiple selection for fiscal year permits only inclusive values ?

  The SAP error message FR489 ("Multiple selection for fiscal year permits only inclusive values") typically occurs when you are trying to select multiple fiscal years in a report or transaction, but the selection criteria do not meet the requirements for inclusive values. This means that the system expects you to select a range of years rather than individual years that are not contiguous.
  Cause:
  
  Non-contiguous Year Selection: You may have selected multiple fiscal years that are not in a continuous range. For example, selecting 2021, 2023, and 2024 would trigger this error because there is a gap (2022) between the selected years.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you are using may not be set up to handle multiple selections properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use a Range: Instead of selecting individual years, use a range that includes all the years you want to report on. For example, if you want to include 2021, 2022, and 2023, you should select the range from 2021 to 2023.
  Check Selection Options: Ensure that you are using the correct selection options in the report or transaction. If the system allows for a range, make sure to utilize that feature.
  Review Documentation: Check the documentation for the specific report or transaction you are using to understand how it handles fiscal year selections.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message. Sometimes, there may be patches or updates that address specific issues.
