• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RERACA090 - Company codes have different fiscal year variants ?

  The SAP error message RERACA090 indicates that there is a mismatch in the fiscal year variants between different company codes in your SAP system. This typically occurs when you are trying to perform a transaction that involves multiple company codes, and those company codes are set up with different fiscal year variants.
  Cause:
  
  Different Fiscal Year Variants: Each company code in SAP can have its own fiscal year variant, which defines the start and end of the fiscal year, as well as the number of posting periods. If you attempt to execute a transaction that involves multiple company codes with differing fiscal year variants, SAP will raise this error.
  Configuration Issues: This can also happen if the company codes were not properly configured during the setup process, leading to inconsistencies in fiscal year settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RERACA090 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Variants:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB29 (Maintain Fiscal Year Variants).
  Review the fiscal year variants assigned to each company code involved in the transaction.
  Ensure that the fiscal year variants are consistent across the company codes if they are meant to be aligned.
  
  
  
  Align Fiscal Year Variants:
  
  If the company codes should have the same fiscal year variant, you can change the fiscal year variant for one of the company codes to match the other.
  Be cautious when changing fiscal year variants, as this can have implications for financial reporting and data integrity.
  
  
  
  Transaction Review:
  
  Review the transaction you are trying to execute. If it is not necessary to involve multiple company codes, consider executing the transaction separately for each company code.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or Finance team for guidance on fiscal year variant configurations and implications.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the financial data remains accurate.
