How To Fix FMCF150 - You cannot change the carryforward rule for &4

FMCF150 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FMCF -

• Message number: 150

• Message text: You cannot change the carryforward rule for &4

What causes this issue?

You want to change the carryforward rules for FM account assignment
&V4& in FM area &V1& for carryforward parameter &V2& and fiscal year
&V3&. However, this is not possible because documents were already
carried forward in the commitment carryforward using this parameter.
If the carryforward rules are changed after the commitment carryforward
is executed, the commitment carryforward can no longer be reset without
causing inconsistencies in the data.

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 want to change the carryforward rules, you first have to
completely
reset the commitment carryforward for the items already carried forward
with carryforward parameter &V1&/&V2& in fiscal year &V3& of FM account
assignment &V4&. Completely resetting means that all postings that
possibly lead to the reduction of items in the receiver year must be
reversed before the commitment carryforward is reset.
Alternatively, you can assign other carryforward parameters to the
value types in question for which the carryforward rules already exist
or can be defined after the commitment carryforward.
