How To Fix G0140 - Assignment of C/I method &1 to &2 &3: invalid in target dimension

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G0 - Messages for SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 140

• Message text: Assignment of C/I method &1 to &2 &3: invalid in target dimension

What causes this issue?

Consolidation of investments (C/I) method &V1& &V2& &V3& is assigned
for a certain period of time and at least one combination of special
versions for C/I, structures and investments. However, this
organizational unit does not exist in the target dimension &V4&. The
assignment is therefore invalid in that dimension.

System Response

Assignments of C/I methods to &V2& &V3& will not be copied.

How to fix this error?

If you also want to include &V2& &V3& in C/I in dimension &V4&, you
need to make a version and period-dependent assignment of the method in
that dimension.
You can only copy all the assignments from the source dimension if you
also copy &V2& &V3&.
Alternatively, you can explicitly assign methods in dimension &V4& in
C/I Customizing.
