• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MSG_FINCS_MD_MAINT202 - If you enable aggregation, data is not transferred from accounting. ?

  The SAP error message MSG_FINCS_MD_MAINT202 typically indicates an issue related to the aggregation settings in the Financial Accounting (FI) module, particularly when dealing with the transfer of data from accounting to the Controlling (CO) module or other related modules. The message suggests that when aggregation is enabled, the system is unable to transfer the necessary data from accounting.
  Cause:
  
  
  Aggregation Settings: The error often arises when the aggregation settings in the configuration are not aligned with the data being processed. If aggregation is enabled but the necessary data or configuration to support it is missing, the system will not be able to transfer the data.
  
  
  Missing Configuration: There may be missing or incorrect configuration settings in the controlling area or in the financial accounting settings that prevent the data from being aggregated and transferred correctly.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data that prevent successful aggregation, such as missing master data or incorrect document types.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the aggregation or data transfer.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Aggregation Settings: Review the aggregation settings in the configuration. Ensure that they are correctly set up for the relevant controlling area and that they match the data being processed.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Go through the configuration settings in both the FI and CO modules. Ensure that all necessary settings are in place, including the assignment of cost elements, cost centers, and other relevant master data.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a data consistency check to identify any missing or incorrect data that may be causing the issue. This may involve checking for missing master data or ensuring that all necessary documents are posted correctly.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the aggregation and data transfer. If not, work with your SAP security team to grant the required permissions.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this specific error message. There may be patches or updates that resolve known issues.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, perform tests to ensure that the data can now be aggregated and transferred successfully.
