• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PRA/REPORTS012 - Amended report only possible after at least one finalized current report ?

  The SAP error message /PRA/REPORTS012 indicates that an amended report cannot be created because there is no finalized current report available. This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP Public Sector Management (PSM) module, particularly when dealing with reporting and financial statements.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a user attempts to create an amended report without having a finalized current report in the system. In many reporting scenarios, especially in financial reporting, an amended report is based on a finalized version of a current report.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Check for Finalized Reports: Verify if there is at least one finalized current report in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant reporting transaction or table where finalized reports are stored.
  
  
  Finalize a Current Report: If no finalized reports exist, you will need to create and finalize a current report. This typically involves:
  
  Generating the current report based on the required data.
  Reviewing the report for accuracy.
  Finalizing the report through the appropriate transaction or process in SAP.
  
  
  
  Retry Amended Report Creation: Once you have at least one finalized current report, attempt to create the amended report again.
  
  
  Related Information:
