How To Fix GL137 - You cannot roll up data to ledger &, version &

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GL - FI-SL Rollup

• Message number: 137

• Message text: You cannot roll up data to ledger &, version &

What causes this issue?

You want to update ledger &v1& with version &v2& with rollup data or
reset data using a reset set.
Since, however, ledger &v1& is updated with actual or plan data due to
the actual and plan versions defined in configuration, the rollup or
the resetting can lead to data inconsistencies.
In order to be able to perform a rollup to ledger &v1& with version
&v2&, you must activate the 'Rollup' indicator in the version
definition.

System Response

The rollup cannot be executed because this indicator is not active.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you want to use ledger &v1& for rollups only, inactivate the
indicator 'Ledger postng allowd' in the ledger definition.
If you also want to use a ledger that can be planned or posted to for
rollups, you should normally use a different version for the rollup.
If the same versions are to be used for the actual or plan data and the
rollup data, you must activate the 'Rollup' indicator in FI-SL
Configuration (Environment -> Master data -> Ledger -> Extras ->
Versions). In this case make sure that the data remains consistent.
