• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICC_TR211 - Enter company codes that share the same chart of accounts ?

  The SAP error message ICC_TR211 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of company codes in relation to their chart of accounts. Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to perform a transaction that requires company codes to share the same chart of accounts, but the selected company codes do not meet this requirement.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the company codes you are trying to use in a transaction do not share the same chart of accounts. In SAP, each company code is assigned a specific chart of accounts, and for certain transactions (like intercompany transactions), the system requires that the involved company codes use the same chart of accounts to ensure consistency in financial reporting and data integrity.
  Solution:
  To resolve the ICC_TR211 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Company Code Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBY6 (or navigate through the SAP menu: SPRO > Financial Accounting > General Ledger > Master Data > G/L Accounts > Prepare for Migration > Define Chart of Accounts).
  Verify the chart of accounts assigned to each company code involved in the transaction.
  
  
  
  Align Chart of Accounts:
  
  If the company codes do not share the same chart of accounts, you will need to either:
  
  Change the chart of accounts for one of the company codes to match the other.
  Create a new chart of accounts that can be assigned to both company codes if they need to operate under a unified structure.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Settings:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are trying to execute is appropriate for the company codes involved. Some transactions may have specific requirements regarding the chart of accounts.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that may be affecting the company codes and their charts of accounts.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error is resolved.
