• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G00105 - FS items &1 and &2 do not point to each other (not symmetrical) ?

  The SAP error message G00105 indicates that there is a mismatch between two financial statement (FS) items in the system. Specifically, it means that the two FS items referenced in the error message do not point to each other symmetrically, which is a requirement for certain financial reporting processes in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Configuration Issues: The FS items may not be correctly configured in the Financial Statement Version (FSV). Each FS item should have a corresponding counterpart that points back to it.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual errors during the setup of FS items can lead to mismatches. For example, if one FS item is set to point to another, but the reverse is not true, this error will occur.
  Changes in Configuration: If changes were made to the FS items or their relationships without ensuring that the corresponding items were updated, this could lead to asymmetry.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the G00105 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check FS Item Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the Financial Statement Version (FSV) in SAP.
  Verify the settings for the FS items mentioned in the error message. Ensure that they are correctly linked to each other.
  
  
  
  Correct the Relationships:
  
  If you find that the FS items do not point to each other, you will need to adjust the configuration. This may involve:
  
  Editing the FS item settings to ensure that they are symmetrical.
  Adding or modifying the relationships between the FS items as needed.
  
  
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run the financial report or transaction again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a functional consultant who specializes in Financial Accounting (FI) in SAP.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes were made in a development environment, ensure that they are transported to the production environment properly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as OB58 (for Financial Statement Versions) to access and modify the FS items.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Testing: Always perform testing in a non-production environment before applying changes to the live system to avoid disruptions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the G00105 error and ensure that your FS items are configured correctly for financial reporting in SAP.
