and fiscal year &V3& is not consistent: the reconstruction process
involves at least one control object assigned to a fund (&V4&), which is
not included in the list of selected funds.
In a single run, the reconstruction process can only consider the
posting addresses, budget addresses and derived control objects which
are assigned to the <ZH>same list of funds</>.

How to fix this error?

Add at least the missing fund &V4& to your selection and start the
process again. If you receive a similar message repeatedly for other
fund values, SAP recommends that you run the process for all funds.

Procedure for System Administrators

Please verify the derivation strategies you have used for assigning
budget addresses and control objects in the Customizing of the BCS
budget structure and BCS availability control. If possible, choose the
same fund value for a given posting address, the assigned budget address
(BCS budget structure) and the assigned control object (BCS availability
control).
