• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_FI109 - Site and fiscal year variant do not match ?

  The SAP error message WRMA_FI109: Site and fiscal year variant do not match typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management (IM) processes integrated with Financial Accounting (FI). This error indicates a mismatch between the plant/site assigned to a document or transaction and the fiscal year variant assigned to that plant in the system.
  
  Cause
  
  Mismatch between the fiscal year variant assigned to the plant/site and the fiscal year variant expected by the transaction.
  Each plant in SAP is assigned a fiscal year variant in the configuration (under Enterprise Structure). If a transaction references a plant with a fiscal year variant that does not correspond to the fiscal year variant expected by the FI document or the posting date, this error occurs.
  This can happen if:
  
  The plant master data is incorrectly maintained with a wrong fiscal year variant.
  The fiscal year variant in the company code or controlling area does not align with the plant's fiscal year variant.
  The document date or posting date falls outside the fiscal year variant assigned to the plant.
  Integration between WM and FI is trying to post a document with inconsistent fiscal year variant settings.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Plant Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction OX10 (Define Plants).
  Verify the plant's assigned company code.
  Check the fiscal year variant assigned to the company code (transaction OB29).
  Ensure the plant is assigned to the correct company code with the correct fiscal year variant.
  
  
  
  Check Fiscal Year Variant Assignment:
  
  Use transaction OB29 to check the fiscal year variant assigned to the company code.
  Use transaction OX18 to check the fiscal year variant assigned to the controlling area (if relevant).
  
  
  
  Check Document Dates:
  
  Verify the posting date and document date in the transaction.
  Ensure the dates fall within the open periods of the fiscal year variant assigned to the plant/company code.
  
  
  
  Adjust Fiscal Year Variant if Needed:
  
  If the fiscal year variant assigned to the plant or company code is incorrect, correct it in the configuration.
  Note: Changing fiscal year variants in a productive system is complex and should be done carefully, usually with SAP support.
  
  
  
  Check Integration Settings:
  
  If the error occurs during WM-FI integration (e.g., during transfer postings or physical inventory postings), verify that the integration settings are consistent.
  Check if the plant used in WM matches the plant in FI postings.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Transaction:
  
  After correcting the fiscal year variant or plant assignment, reprocess the transaction.
