Procedure for System Administrators

What causes this issue?

You have restricted the reconstruction of the
<DS:DE.BUAVC_ALDNR>availability control ledger</> &V1& to a list of
<DS:DE.FMCE_CVRGRP>cover groups</> including the
<DS:DE.FMCE_CGAUTOIND>automatic</> cover group &V2&. However, the system
cannot reconstruct ledger &V1& for this cover group, because there is at
least one posting address (&V3&&V4&) with actual/commitment data, which
has previously been checked in control ledger &V1& without assignment to
any automatic cover group.
Either the cover group &V2& is not relevant for checks with control
ledger &V1& or the budget address, which the posting address &V3&&V4&
belongs to, has been assigned to cover group &V2& in the meanwhile.

Processing stops.
