• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLE_UI_ADB003 - Co. codes in source selection criteria have different charts of accounts ?

  The SAP error message GLE_UI_ADB003 indicates that there is a mismatch in the charts of accounts (CoA) between company codes in the source selection criteria. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform a financial operation or reporting that involves multiple company codes that are configured with different charts of accounts.
  Cause:
  
  Different Charts of Accounts: The company codes involved in the transaction or report are assigned to different charts of accounts. This means that the accounts used in one company code do not correspond to the accounts in another company code.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue where the company codes were not set up correctly to share the same chart of accounts.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry or selection of company codes that do not align in terms of their accounting structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Company Code Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBY6 to check the chart of accounts assigned to each company code.
  Ensure that the company codes you are working with are assigned to the same chart of accounts if they need to be compatible.
  
  
  
  Adjust Source Selection Criteria:
  
  If you are running a report or transaction, ensure that you are only selecting company codes that share the same chart of accounts.
  Modify your selection criteria to include only those company codes that are compatible.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure Company Codes:
  
  If necessary, you may need to reconfigure the company codes to use the same chart of accounts. This can be a complex process and may require careful planning and execution to avoid data inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for specific guidelines on how to handle charts of accounts and company code configurations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the financial operations or reports function as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Charts of Accounts: A chart of accounts is a listing of all accounts used by an organization in its general ledger. Each company code can have its own chart of accounts or share one with other company codes.
  Company Code: A company code is the smallest organizational unit for which a complete self-contained set of accounts can be drawn up. It represents a legal entity.
  SAP Transactions: Familiarize yourself with relevant SAP transactions such as OBY6 (to check chart of accounts) and OBD4 (to assign charts of accounts to company codes).
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a consultant who specializes in SAP financial configurations.
