6. Error is thrown:

'Different fiscal year variants exist for the assigned sets of books'

Along with the error message, there's also an info message displayed:

'Select one set of books only'.

When a company is assigned to multiple sets of books, and these sets of books are assigned to different fiscal year variants, it's not possible to execute a single GR/IR Clearing Run for all sets of books.

For example:

Company ID ABC is assigned to Set of Books DEF and GHI.

Set of Books DEF is tied to Fiscal Year Variant AAA.

Set of Books GHI is tied to Fiscal Year Variant BBB.

It's not possible to execute a GR/IR Clearing Run for Company ID ABC leaving the Set of Books field empty, as this implies the run would be executed for DEF and GHI.

ABC means Company ID.

DEF means Set of Books ID.

GHI means Set of Books ID.

AAA means Fiscal Year Variant.

BBB means Fiscal Year Variant.

One GR/IR Clearing Run should be executed for each Set of Books (i.e. DEF or GHI).
