Journal Posting error Consolidation fails with error "Running process exists on consolidation unit"

Hi All,

System: SAP BPC 10.1 Classic NW

I am getting below error while posting journals from BPC web front end.

"Consolidation fails with error "Running process exists on consolidation unit"

I am aware that the above error is getting because in backend consolidation program is running through Data manager package which is scheduled every 3 hours and at the same time user is posting journal which has the currency conversion script in it.

Is there a way/note to avoid this error for poping up while posting journal.

Journal Script

//Running currency conversion for ACT and Parity category

*FOR %TC% = %TOT_CAT%

*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION

CATEGORY = %TC%

// CURRENCY = USD

GROUP = MGMT_BDX

TID_RA = %TIME_SET%

OTHER = [ENTITY = %ENTITY_SET%; CS_DATASRC = %CS_DATASRC_SET%]

RATEENTITY = GLOBAL

*ENDRUN_PROGRAM

*NEXT

Consolidation Script

//Running currency conversion for ACT and Parity category

*FOR %CC% = %CONS_CAT%

*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION

CATEGORY = %CC%

GROUP = MGMT_BDX

TID_RA = %TIME_SET%

RATEENTITY = GLOBAL

// INCREMENTAL_MODE = X

*ENDRUN_PROGRAM

*NEXT

Let me know if any further information is required. I am also attaching herewith error message

Please! NEVER use "Insert File" instead of correct "Insert Image"! I will not answer questions with "Insert Image" - correction required.

Sorry, but you are trying to run in parallel 2 currency conversion processes. And this is the reason for the error. And there is no easy way to avoid it programmatically.

But why do you need to run currency conversion in journal.lgf???

Hi Vadim,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

You mentioned

"Delay journal FX conversion until Consolidation FX conversion finished????"

So are you saying that user should not post the journal till the time consolidation package is running in the backend? and once consolidation package is executed then only journal are to be posted.

You can do it only using some administrative schedule for the users. No way to implement it programmatically...

Hi Vadim,

Thanks for your reply.

User wants to see converted (Group currency) value as soon as the journal is posted in local currency and that is the reason why it is included in Journal.lgf. Also this issue occurs rarely only when there is a scheduled package running in backend and user is posting journal at the very same time. I thought there would some SAP notes that would be available for this but didn't found any.

SAP Notes? And how do you think it will work?

1. Consolidation FX conversion started.

2. Journal posted, journal.lgf is starting FX conversion

Delay journal FX conversion until Consolidation FX conversion finished????
