• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1I124 - New GL item not necessary as data same as existing ?

  The SAP error message 1I124 ("New GL item not necessary as data same as existing") typically occurs in the context of the New General Ledger (New GL) functionality in SAP. This message indicates that the system has detected that the data you are trying to post is identical to an existing line item in the General Ledger, and therefore, it does not create a new line item.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Data: The most common cause of this error is that the line item you are trying to post has the same characteristics (such as account, amount, and other relevant fields) as an existing line item in the General Ledger.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific settings in the New GL configuration that prevent the creation of duplicate entries.
  Posting Logic: The logic in the posting program may be designed to avoid creating duplicate entries for efficiency and data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Entries: Review the existing line items in the General Ledger to confirm if there is indeed a duplicate entry. You can do this by using transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) or FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display).
  Modify the Posting: If you find that the data is indeed the same, consider modifying the posting to create a unique entry. This could involve changing the amount, adding a different reference, or adjusting other fields that differentiate the new entry from the existing one.
  Review Configuration: If you believe that the error is not justified, review the New GL configuration settings. Consult with your SAP Basis or Finance team to ensure that the settings align with your business requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Check SAP documentation or notes related to the New GL functionality for any specific guidelines or updates that might address this issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FB01 (Post Document), FB03 (Display Document), and FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) to help you navigate and troubleshoot the issue.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to error message 1I124 in the SAP Support Portal for any patches or updates that may address this issue.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If your organization has custom logic implemented, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might affect the posting behavior.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or consult with an SAP expert for further assistance.
