What causes this issue?

The list of funded programs that you have selected for reconstructing
the <DS:DE.BUAVC_ALDNR>availability control ledger</> &V1& for FM area
&V2& and fiscal year &V3& is not consistent: the reconstruction process
involves at least one control object assigned to a funded program (&V4&
), which is not included in the list of selected funded programs.
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 funded programs</>.

System Response

Processing stops.

How to fix this error?

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

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 funded program value for a given posting address, the assigned
budget address (BCS budget structure) and the assigned control object
(BCS availability control).
