• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FT066 - Version & is like calendar year -> no copying possible ?

  The SAP error message FT066 typically indicates an issue related to the fiscal year variant and the calendar year in the context of financial document processing. This error arises when there is an attempt to copy or transfer data between periods or years that are not compatible due to differences in their fiscal year settings.
  Cause:
  
  Fiscal Year Variant Mismatch: The fiscal year variant defined in the system does not match the calendar year. For example, if the system is set to a fiscal year that does not align with the calendar year (e.g., a fiscal year starting in July), and you are trying to copy data from a calendar year, the system will throw this error.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the fiscal year variant in the SAP system may not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies when trying to perform operations that involve year-end processing or data transfers.
  Period Locking: If the periods are locked for posting or if there are restrictions on the fiscal year, this can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Variant: Verify the fiscal year variant settings in the SAP system. Ensure that the fiscal year variant is correctly configured to match the intended calendar year.
  
  You can check this in the SAP GUI by navigating to SPRO > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Fiscal Year > Define Fiscal Year Variant.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If the fiscal year variant is not set correctly, you may need to adjust it. This may involve creating a new fiscal year variant or modifying the existing one to align with the calendar year.
  
  
  Review Periods: Check the status of the periods in the fiscal year. Ensure that the periods are open for posting and that there are no locks preventing the copying of data.
  
  You can check this in the transaction code OB52 (Maintain Periods).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or Finance team to ensure that the fiscal year settings are appropriate for your organization's accounting practices.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs when attempting to copy data.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OB52 (for period control) and OB37 (for fiscal year variant settings).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles: Ensure that the user attempting the operation has the necessary authorizations to perform actions related to fiscal year and period management.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a consultant who specializes in SAP Financials for further assistance.
