How To Fix G00584 - Resetting data for characteristic &1 based on loaded files

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G00 - SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 584

• Message text: Resetting data for characteristic &1 based on loaded files

What causes this issue?

To guarantee data consistency, the system is resetting the data in the
target area of the import. You did not restrict characteristic <ZH>&V1&
</> on the selection screen and, thus, you did not specify a target
area.

System Response

To prevent the resetting of data for all characteristic values of
characteristic <ZH>&V1&</>, the program determines at runtime for which
characteristic values data is being imported. The program only resets
the data concerning the values being imported.
This logic is used for the following characteristics:
Dimension
Version
Year

How to fix this error?

If applicable, modify your selection conditions to affect which data is
reset.

How can this happen?

Say, you made no restrictions on the selection screen for
characteristic "version". The file contains data for version <ZH>100
</>. The database contains data for versions <ZH>100</> and <ZH>200</>.
To prevent data loss, the program only resets the data for version
<ZH>100</>.
If you want to reset the data for version <ZH>200</> as well, restrict
the selection to versions <ZH>100</> and <ZH>200</>.

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.
