How To Fix G3611 - Differences exist between Financial Accounting and Consolidation

G3611 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 611

• Message text: Differences exist between Financial Accounting and Consolidation

What causes this issue?

Documents from Financial Accounting and Consolidation are compared in
the local currency for each Consolidation item. For every operational
account assigned in an FI document, the Consolidation item is
determined to which the corresponding account is mapped to at the time
of posting. The local currency of the company code as well as any
parallel local currencies are included in the comparison. Differences
can arise if, for example, the following situations apply:
FI documents without assigned Cons documents are contained in the
selection, or vice versa.
The local currency of the consolidation unit was neither stored as the
the local currency of the company code nor as a parallel local currency
in the valuation of the consolidation ledger in Financial Accounting at
the time of posting.
FI documents are not updated fully in Consolidation because of a system
error. That means some document line items are possibly missing.
