G3548 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G3 - Messages for SAP Consolidation: Integration

• Message number: 548

• Message text: Fiscal year variants &1 and &2 are not compatible (see long text)

What causes this issue?

The system examined the compatibility of fiscal year variant &V1& of a
transaction organizational unit with that of a consolidation unit (&V2&
). In general, the posting periods are compatible if each posting
period of the transaction fiscal year variant lies completely within a
posting period of Consolidation. For example, this requirement must be
met in integrated data transfers in order to determine an unambiguous
data entry period. This results in the following conditions with
respect to the posting periods of the transaction fiscal year variant
and/or the FY variant of Consolidation:
The "From" Date of each posting period in Consolidation must match the
"From" Date of the posting period of the transaction org unit.
The "To" Date of each posting period in Consolidation must match the
"To" Date of the posting period of the transaction org unit.
However, one of these conditions has not been met for one or more
periods.
