• Message class: FINS_CFIN_DEFTAX - Central Finance: Deferred Taxes

• Message number: 028

• Message text: Postprocessing of deferred tax data forced.

What causes this issue?

The deferred tax postprocessing report detected that at least one of the
prerequisites for its use is <ZH>not</> fulfilled:
The initial load of FI postings for the given source company code was
finished without errors.
The ongoing replication of FI documents for the given source company
code has <ZH>not</> started yet.
You overruled this by selecting the <ZK>Force Postprocessing
</> checkbox and ran the postprocessing report anyway.

System Response

The deferred tax data were updated, even though the conditions might
<ZH>not</> be met.

How to fix this error?

Be kindly reminded: You should only select the <ZK>Force Postprocessing
</> checkbox if the postprocessing report fails to detect the
fulfillment of the prerequisites correctly. That means when you checked
that the conditions are met, but the report fails to detect it which can
happen in rare cases. If you run the report in force postprocessing mode
when the conditions are <ZH>not</> really met, the update of the
deferred tax data might be incomplete or even erroneous.
