    for all values of this field.

    Procedure for System Administrators

    Please verify the derivation strategy you have used for assigning
    posting addresses to budget addresses in the Customizing of the BCS
    budget structure. If possible, choose the same value of the field
    <ZK>&V4&</> for a given posting address and the assigned budget address.
