  The SAP error message FTOE_CORE162 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the financial data for a specific company code. The message states that splitting is inactive, but there is existing splitting data. This typically occurs in the context of financial transactions where the system expects certain data to be split (for example, between different cost centers or profit centers) but the configuration does not allow for it.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Splitting Configuration: The splitting functionality for the specified company code is not activated in the system settings.
  Existing Splitting Data: There are records in the database that contain splitting data, which the system is trying to process, but the configuration does not support it.
