SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FINS_BCF_EN - Balance Carry Forward

• Message number: 091

• Message text: &4 test results deleted (production ledger &1, comp. code &2, FY &3).

What causes this issue?

The protocol for test results is stored in a temporary table. This
protocol is automatically deleted as follows:
If you select <LS>Reset Balance Carryforward</> for a production run,
the existing balance carryforward is deleted. The corresponding detailed
result lists are also deleted.
If you select <LS>Reset Balance Carryforward</> for a test run, the
corresponding test results are deleted, and the production data are not
changed.
Test results are also deleted after some time. As soon as a production
run is applied to a fiscal year, all test data for previous fiscal years
is deleted.
If you run a test run, after a production run, for a specific ledger,
company code, and fiscal year, test data that existed before this
production run is deleted. This simplifies the analysis of the
additional delta of the last test run.
After the results of a balance carryforward are reset, either in a
production mode or in a test mode, the detailed protocol is no longer
available. However, you can view the details of these runs in the value
help (F4) for the <LS>Balance Carryforward Run ID</>. These runs are
marked as <LS>Deleted</> but are still shown and provide an overview of
all balance carryforward runs.
