• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLE_MCA402 - Ledger &1 is not assigned to a ledger group which also includes ledger &2 ?

  The SAP error message GLE_MCA402 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to ledger assignments in the system. Specifically, it means that the ledger you are trying to use is not assigned to a ledger group that includes another ledger that is required for the operation you are attempting to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Ledger Configuration: The ledger you are trying to use (let's call it Ledger A) is not assigned to the same ledger group as another ledger (Ledger B) that is required for the transaction or report you are trying to execute.
  Missing Assignments: There may be missing or incorrect assignments in the configuration of the ledgers and ledger groups in the Financial Accounting (FI) module.
  Transaction Type: The transaction you are trying to execute may require both ledgers to be part of the same group for proper processing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Ledger Assignments:
  
  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (SPRO).
  Navigate to Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Master Data > Ledgers > Define Ledger Groups.
  Verify that both Ledger A and Ledger B are assigned to the same ledger group.
  
  
  
  Modify Ledger Group:
  
  If they are not assigned to the same group, you can either:
  
  Add Ledger A to the ledger group that includes Ledger B.
  Create a new ledger group that includes both ledgers if that fits your business requirements.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Transaction Settings:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are trying to execute is compatible with the ledgers you are using. Some transactions may have specific requirements regarding ledger groups.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or requirements related to your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like OB22 (for defining ledger groups) or OB37 (for defining ledgers) to make the necessary changes.
  Testing: After making changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to ledger configurations.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the configurations, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
