What causes this issue?

The ledger group to which your valuation area is assigned contains
several ledgers. During the balance valuation, these ledgers are read
and valuated individually. The valuation postings use the ledger groups
with the same names (for example, ledger XY is valuated and ledger group
XY is used for the postings). At least one ledger in the ledger group
assigned would be posted twice, and this is not correct from a business
point of view.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FR899 - Valuation of ledger &1 done twice: check the settings ?

  The SAP error message FR899 indicates that there is a problem with the valuation of a ledger being processed twice. This typically occurs in the context of financial accounting and controlling, particularly when dealing with multiple ledgers or valuation methods in SAP.
  Cause:

  Incorrect Posting Period: If the posting period is not set correctly, it may lead to the system attempting to process the same valuation multiple times.
  
  
  Multiple Valuation Methods: If multiple valuation methods are assigned to the same ledger without proper differentiation, it can lead to confusion in the valuation process.
  
  
  Custom Code or Enhancements: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the system that affect the valuation process, they may inadvertently cause the valuation to be executed multiple times.

  To resolve the FR899 error, you can take the following steps:
