System Response

A prerequisite for a new automatic commitment carryforward is that you
have already carried the complete document line &V2& in the accounting
document &V1& forward to the fiscal year &V4& during a standard fiscal
year change.
If several FM document lines are involved, the current program cannot be
certain that you have performed the standard fiscal year change using
the transaction <ZH>FMJ2</> with <DS:DE.FM_PROCESS_DIALOG>Process with

here.
This means that the current program is not able to perform any automatic
commitment carryforward for this scenario.

How to fix this error?

If necessary, carry the document &V1& forward to the fiscal year &V4&
using transaction <ZH>FMJ2</>.
