remark: cf. with message g0 812,819

What causes this issue?

Item &V4& is to be carried forward to item &V1&.
Item &V1& has an optional breakdown by subassignment &V2& with
breakdown frequency 3 or 4. The subassignment &V2& is in a compounding
relationship with characteristic &V3&. A fixed value is entered in the
breakdown category of the item for characteristic &V3&. In the data
record being processed, characteristic &V3& does not have a value, or
has a different value to the fixed value, although item &V4& has the
same fixed value for characteristic &V3&, as item &V1&.
A possible cause may be that in the old fiscal year item &V4& did not
have a breakdown by subassignment &V2& or had a breakdown with another
fixed value for characteristic &V3&. Changing the fixed value of
characteristic &V3& is not possible for the dependent subassignment
&V2& with breakdown frequency 3 and 4, because no value can be
calculated for the subassignment to the new fixed value.

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?

Change the values for subassignments &V3& und &V2& (for example, in one
of the special periods) in all data records of the old fiscal year for
item &V4&. The independent characteristic &V3& should be changed to the
value, which is entered as the fixed value in the breakdown categories
of items &V1& and &V4&. Then the carrying forward of balances can be
completed.
Note: This is possible with online data entry, when you use a form in
which characteristic &V3& does not occur.
