How To Fix FI879 - Commitment item &1 and criterion category &2 do not match

FI879 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FI - TR-FM Funds Management

• Message number: 879

• Message text: Commitment item &1 and criterion category &2 do not match

What causes this issue?

You tried to create a commitment item which does not match the
criterion category entered.
Here we must distinguish between two cases:
Case a): You have entered a criterion category but not a superior
commitment item
Here the commitment item must have exactly the same name as a criterion
from this criterion category.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Case b): You have entered a superior commitment item

How to fix this error?

Re case a)
Check the name of your criterion or the name of this commitment item
and make the necessary adjustments.
Re case b)
Check the name of your criterion or the name of this commitment item
and make the necessary adjustments.
If the name of the commitment item consists of the superior item as the
first part plus the new commitment item as the second part, then the
first part and the name of the superior item must match.
If you have only specified the commitment item to be newly created
without a prefix as the name, then this name must be identical to a
criterion from this criterion category.
