GI577 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GI - FI-SL update

• Message number: 577

• Message text: Different fiscal years -> LONGTEXT!!

What causes this issue?

You want to post to at least two ledgers that are assigned to different
fiscal years using different fiscal year variants. This can lead to an
update termination because only one, unique document number may be
assigned.
Example: Posting date 12/1/yyyy. Ledger L1 is posted to in fiscal year
1, while ledger L2 is posted to in fiscal year 2. Document number year
1/1000 is assigned, but it is updated in ledger L2 as year 2/1000.
Now you have a posting with posting date 3/1/year 2, for which document
number year 2/1000 is assigned; it will also try to update ledger L2
using document number year 2/1000. -> Update termination because of
'duplicate keys' in your line item table.
