• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RTC_COMM070 - Fiscal year variant settings of BPC model and RTC model must match ?

  The SAP error message RTC_COMM070 indicates that there is a mismatch between the fiscal year variant settings of a Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) model and a Real-Time Consolidation (RTC) model. This error typically arises when the fiscal year variant defined in the BPC model does not align with the fiscal year variant defined in the RTC model, which can lead to inconsistencies in reporting and data processing.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatched Fiscal Year Variants: The fiscal year variant in the BPC model is different from the one in the RTC model. Each model must use the same fiscal year variant to ensure that periods and fiscal year settings are consistent.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration during the setup of either the BPC or RTC model can lead to this mismatch.
  Changes in Model Settings: If changes were made to the fiscal year variant settings in one model without corresponding changes in the other, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RTC_COMM070 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Variant Settings:
  
  Go to the BPC model settings and note the fiscal year variant being used.
  Go to the RTC model settings and check the fiscal year variant there as well.
  
  
  
  Align Fiscal Year Variants:
  
  If the fiscal year variants are different, you will need to change one of them to match the other. This can typically be done in the model configuration settings.
  Ensure that both models are using the same fiscal year variant (e.g., K4 for calendar year, K1 for fiscal year starting in July, etc.).
  
  
  
  Update Model Configuration:
  
  If you need to change the fiscal year variant in either model, make sure to update the configuration accordingly and save the changes.
  After making changes, it may be necessary to refresh or reprocess the models to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After aligning the fiscal year variants, test the models to ensure that the error no longer appears and that data processing works as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed instructions on configuring fiscal year variants in BPC and RTC.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or fixes related to this error.
