• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLE_MCA373 - Deviating fiscal year variants for selected company codes ?

  The SAP error message GLE_MCA373 indicates that there is a mismatch in the fiscal year variants assigned to the company codes involved in a transaction. This typically occurs when you are trying to execute a financial transaction that involves multiple company codes, and those company codes have different fiscal year variants configured in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Different Fiscal Year Variants: Each company code in SAP can have its own fiscal year variant, which defines the start and end of the fiscal year, as well as the number of posting periods. If you attempt to post a transaction that involves multiple company codes with differing fiscal year variants, SAP will raise this error.
  Configuration Issues: The fiscal year variants may not have been set up correctly in the system, or there may be inconsistencies in the configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the GLE_MCA373 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Variants:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB29 to view the fiscal year variants assigned to each company code.
  Ensure that the company codes involved in the transaction have the same fiscal year variant.
  
  
  
  Adjust Company Code Settings:
  
  If the company codes need to have the same fiscal year variant, you may need to change the fiscal year variant for one of the company codes. This can be done in the same OB29 transaction.
  If the company codes are meant to have different fiscal year variants, ensure that the transaction you are trying to execute is appropriate for the selected company codes.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction:
  
  If you are executing a transaction that involves multiple company codes, consider whether it is necessary to do so. If possible, separate the transactions by company code.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or Finance team for further insights into the fiscal year variant configuration and its implications.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Fiscal Year Variant Configuration: Understanding how fiscal year variants are configured in SAP is crucial. Each variant can define different posting periods, special periods, and year-end closing periods.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OB29 (Define Fiscal Year Variants) and OB37 (Assign Company Code to Fiscal Year Variant).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or fixes related to this error message.
