  The SAP error message GI146 typically indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a ledger in the system. Specifically, the error message "Ledger & is not global" suggests that the ledger you are trying to use is not set up as a global ledger, which can lead to issues when trying to perform certain operations that require a global ledger.
