SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G0 - Messages for SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 811

• Message text: Item &1: no value for subassignment &2 (reqd brkdown, brkdown type 3,4)

remark: cf. with message g0 816,817

What causes this issue?

Item &V1& is to be carried forward. This item has a required breakdown
by subassignment &V2& with breakdown type 3 or 4. However, the data
record being processed does not have a value for this subassignment.
A possible cause may be that in the old fiscal year there was no
breakdown, or only an optional breakdown, by subassignment &V2& and
therefore there is no value in the subassignment. In this case, it is
not possible to switch to a required breakdown with breakdown type 3 or
4 because the system is unable to determine a value for subassignment
&V2&.

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 in the old fiscal year item &V1& had no breakdown, or only an
optional breakdown, by subassignment &V2&, you can proceed as follows:
If there was previously no breakdown, first change the breakdown type
to "optional". Then enter a subassignment value in all data records of
the old fiscal year for item &V1& (for example, in one of the special
periods). Only after doing this, use carrying forward of balances to
switch to a required breakdown with breakdown type 3 or 4.
If there was previously an optional breakdown, first enter a
subassignment value in all data records of the old fiscal year for item
&V1&, in which the subassignment is blank. Only after doing this, use
carrying forward of balances to switch to a required breakdown with
breakdown type 3 or 4.
