Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ALB_FND_MSG628 - Synthetic funds cannot have ISIN (funds &1, line &2) ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ALB_FND_MSG628 indicates that there is an issue with synthetic funds in the system. Specifically, it states that synthetic funds cannot have an International Securities Identification Number (ISIN). This error typically arises in the context of fund management or investment management modules within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Synthetic Funds Definition: Synthetic funds are financial instruments that are created to replicate the performance of a specific asset or index without actually holding the underlying assets. They are often used for hedging or investment strategies.
  ISIN Assignment: The ISIN is a unique identifier for securities and is typically assigned to actual securities or funds that have a physical representation. Since synthetic funds do not have a physical representation, they should not be assigned an ISIN.
  Data Entry Error: The error may occur due to incorrect data entry where an ISIN has been mistakenly assigned to a synthetic fund.
  
  Solution:
  
  Remove ISIN Assignment: Check the configuration or data entry for the synthetic funds in question. You need to remove the ISIN assignment from the synthetic funds. This can usually be done in the fund management or investment management settings in SAP.
  Review Fund Types: Ensure that the fund types are correctly defined in the system. Synthetic funds should be categorized appropriately to prevent ISIN assignments.
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks in the data entry process to prevent users from assigning ISINs to synthetic funds in the future.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines specific to your version of SAP for detailed steps on managing fund types and ISIN assignments.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on managing synthetic funds.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and permissions to make changes to fund definitions and ISIN assignments.
  Training and Awareness: Provide training for users involved in fund management to ensure they understand the differences between synthetic and actual funds and the implications of ISIN assignments.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP fund management for further assistance.
