What causes this issue?

A valuation grouping code is a supradefinition of the valuation area.
It is intended to facilitate the management of standard accounts for
automatic posting within the framework of inventory management and
invoice verification, by minimizing the number of entries.
Valuation areas that are to be treated in the same way in terms of
account assignment are to be defined with the same valuation grouping
code. Valuation grouping codes either represent a fine differentiation
within a chart of accounts or correspond to one chart of accounts (i.e.
1:1). Therefore, only valuation codes that relate (via the company
code) to the same chart of accounts should be grouped together under a
valuation grouping code.

  The SAP error message OM195 typically indicates that there is an issue with the valuation grouping code in relation to the chart of accounts. This error often arises in the context of configuring the financial accounting (FI) or controlling (CO) modules, particularly when dealing with account assignments and valuation methods.
  Cause:
  
  Valuation Grouping Code Conflict: The valuation grouping code you are trying to use is already assigned to a different chart of accounts. This can happen if you are trying to create or modify a configuration that conflicts with existing settings.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the valuation grouping code or chart of accounts may not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies.
  Data Migration Issues: If you are migrating data from another system or making bulk changes, there may be inconsistencies in how the valuation grouping codes are assigned.

  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP (Transaction Code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Financial Accounting (FI) > General Ledger Accounting > Master Data > G/L Accounts > Preparation for Creating G/L Accounts.
  Verify the valuation grouping codes and ensure they are correctly assigned to the appropriate chart of accounts.
  
  
  
  Review Chart of Accounts:

  If necessary, change the valuation grouping code to one that is not already allocated to another chart of accounts.
