• Message number: 373

• Message text: No.of actve forms (form type &1/form bndle type &2) inconsist; s.lng txt

Status: Language Editing Done

What causes this issue?

In the tax return, the number of active forms of form type &1 in
form bundle type &2 is different from the number defined in
Customizing activity <DS:SIMG.ISPSCA_FMCATRMFPFFBT>Define Form Bundle
Type</>.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you are editing the tax return in the <ZK>Tax Processing</> work
center, make sure the correct number of active forms with form type
&V1& exist.
If you are running the mass activity for tax returns, check whether the
result of merge proposal from event P280 is consistent with the
Customizing setting in <DS:SIMG.ISPSCA_FMCATRMFPFFBT>Define Form Bundle
Type</>. This is necessary because event P280 not only suggests how
forms will be merged but also changes the status of the form that was
merged. For example, if form1 is merged to form2, event P280 will also
change the status of form1 from status Active to Inactive. This status
change may cause an error during the validation of the tax return that
is performed by event P287.
