How To Fix G0796 - Data target for upload of reporting data is not unique

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G0 - Messages for SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 796

• Message text: Data target for upload of reporting data is not unique

What causes this issue?

You execute the flexible upload in the following scenario:
In Global Settings (transaction CXB3), you have specified the &V1&
fiscal year as the effective from fiscal year for line items in SAP
S/4HANA.
The upload file contains data records for multiple fiscal years.
The effective from fiscal year for line items in SAP S/4HANA &V1& is
within the fiscal year range contained in the upload file.
The system persists the reported financial data depending on the
effective from fiscal year for line items in SAP S/4HANA:
Totals data (before the effective from fiscal year)
Line items in SAP S/4HANA (starting with the effective from fiscal year)
The line items in SAP S/4 HANA enable the processing and evaluation of
consolidation at a high level of detail. The data structure of the line
items in SAP S/4HANA is therefore enhanced in comparison to the data
structure of the totals data in consolidation.
In the scenario above, the data target is not unique. This means you
cannot use the current upload file.

System Response

The system prevents the flexible upload in the scenario above by issuing
an error message in the flexible upload log.

How to fix this error?

Create two separate upload files with the following content:
Data records for fiscal years before the effective from fiscal year &V1&
Data records for the effective from fiscal year &V1& or a later fiscal
year
Execute the flexible upload separately for both files.

Procedure for System Administrators

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