How To Fix GL464 - The dimension 'fiscal year' is in the field movement

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GL - FI-SL Rollup

• Message number: 464

• Message text: The dimension 'fiscal year' is in the field movement

What causes this issue?

You have included the dimension 'Fiscal year' in your field movement.
You would not normally need to do so because this dimension is
transferred automatically (determined by the execution period of the
rollup).
In exceptional cases, however, a substitution may be required, for
example, if actual data of the previous year is to be made into planning
data for the following year.
&WARNUNG&
Problems can occur if this dimension is included in the field movement
and substitution takes place using a fixed value with different fiscal
year variants in the sender and receiver ledgers.

How to fix this error?

Check your field movement definition and remove the fiscal year
dimension, if necessary.

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