• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GC392 - A true reversal cannot be carried out in FI-LC Consolidation ?

  The SAP error message GC392, "A true reversal cannot be carried out in FI-LC Consolidation," typically occurs in the context of Financial Consolidation (FI-LC) when attempting to reverse a consolidation entry that cannot be reversed as a true reversal. This situation can arise due to various reasons related to the configuration or the nature of the entries being processed.
  Causes:
  
  Nature of the Entry: The entry you are trying to reverse may not be eligible for a true reversal. For example, if the entry was not originally posted as a true consolidation entry, it cannot be reversed in that manner.
  Consolidation Settings: The settings in the consolidation configuration may not allow for true reversals. This could be due to the way the consolidation is set up in the system.
  Period Status: The period in which you are trying to perform the reversal may be closed or locked, preventing any changes to the entries.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies or issues with the data that prevent the reversal from being processed correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Entry Type: Verify the type of entry you are trying to reverse. If it is not a true consolidation entry, you may need to use a different method to adjust the figures.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for FI-LC to ensure that true reversals are allowed. This may involve consulting with your SAP FI-LC configuration team.
  Open Period: Ensure that the period in which you are trying to reverse the entry is open. If it is closed, you may need to reopen it or use a different period for the reversal.
  Manual Adjustment: If a true reversal is not possible, consider making a manual adjustment entry to correct the figures instead of attempting a reversal.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to FI-LC consolidation for any specific guidelines or updates that may pertain to your situation.
  
  Related Information:

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FB08 (for reversing documents) and FAGLB03 (for viewing GL account balances) to assist in troubleshooting.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform reversals in the system, as restrictions may lead to errors.
