• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GLE_UI_ADB057 - Company codes selected have different fiscal year variants ?

  The SAP error message GLE_UI_ADB057 indicates that the company codes you are trying to process have different fiscal year variants. This can occur in various financial transactions or reporting processes where multiple company codes are involved. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  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 execute 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:
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Variants:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB29 (Define Fiscal Year Variants) to review the fiscal year variants assigned to each company code.
  Ensure that the company codes involved in the transaction have the same fiscal year variant.
  
  
  
  Change Company Code Settings:
  
  If necessary, you can change the fiscal year variant for one of the company codes to match the other. This can be done in the same transaction (OB29) or through the company code settings in the configuration.
  
  
  
  Use a Single Company Code:
  
  If the transaction does not require multiple company codes, consider processing it for a single company code that has a consistent fiscal year variant.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Consultant:
  
  If you are unsure about changing the fiscal year variant or if it impacts other processes, consult with an SAP Basis or functional consultant to ensure that changes do not disrupt other financial processes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Fiscal Year Variant: This is a configuration in SAP that defines how the fiscal year is structured, including the number of periods and special periods.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  OB29: Define Fiscal Year Variants
  OB37: Assign Fiscal Year Variant to Company Code
  
  
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to fiscal year variants and company code settings for more detailed guidance.
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Regularly review and document the fiscal year variants used across different company codes to avoid discrepancies.
  Ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the fiscal year settings, especially during financial closing periods or when planning for new fiscal years.
  
  By addressing the differences in fiscal year variants, you should be able to resolve the GLE_UI_ADB057 error and proceed with your financial transactions or reporting in SAP.
