What causes this issue?

You want to change a BS template that is already being used in one or
more <DS:GLOS.3526B986AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>budget structures</>
(BS).
If budget values already exist in the relevant BS validity area,
changes to the BS template and to BS generation may cause
inconsistencies in budget data.

System Response

The system will make the change to the BS template, if you confirm the
change.

How to fix this error?

Check whether budget values already exist in the validity area of the
relevant budget structures.
If you want to make changes to the BS, even though budget data already
exists, you must then reconstruct the distributed and assigned values
via, <LS>Budgeting -> Tools -> Reconstruct Distributed </> and
<LS>Reconstruct Assigned</>. If inconsistent budget data occurs, you
have two options to correct the inconsistencies:
You execute the program to reconstruct the assigned values and then
adjust the budget values manually. Then execute the program to
reconstruct the assigned values.
You reconstruct the budget values by using program <LS>Reconstruct
Budget Values</> (BPDIST05) and then starting the reconstruction of
assigned values.
<ZH>Note:</>
Program BPDISTS05 does not guarantee the removal of all inconsistent
data in all cases. For further information, refer to the
<DS:RE.BPDIST05>Program documentation</>.
