• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLE_AL_ADB_PP021 - Average ledger &1 must be a new-G/L rollup ledger ?

  The SAP error message GLE_AL_ADB_PP021 indicates that the average ledger specified in the configuration must be a new General Ledger (G/L) rollup ledger. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch in the configuration settings related to the average ledger in the New G/L setup.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Ledger Configuration: The average ledger you are trying to use is not set up as a rollup ledger in the New G/L configuration.
  Legacy G/L Usage: The system may still be referencing a legacy G/L ledger instead of a new G/L ledger.
  Missing Rollup Ledger: The rollup ledger that is required for the average ledger is not defined or activated in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Ledger Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP transaction code OB22 to check the configuration of your ledgers.
  Ensure that the average ledger you are trying to use is indeed set up as a rollup ledger.
  
  
  
  Define Rollup Ledger:
  
  If the rollup ledger is not defined, you will need to create it. This can be done in the same configuration area (OB22).
  Make sure to assign the correct characteristics and settings to the new rollup ledger.
  
  
  
  Review New G/L Settings:
  
  Ensure that your company code is properly configured to use the New G/L. This can be checked in the transaction OBY6.
  Verify that the settings for the average ledger are consistent with the New G/L requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the New G/L and average ledgers for any specific requirements or additional configuration steps.
