financial data for the consolidation of investments.
You made the following selections:
Parameter ,,Import
Totals records ,,&V1&
Journal entries ,,&V2&
Additional financial data for C/I,,&V3&

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?

Totals records, journal entries (line items), and additional financial
data for consolidation of investments are all dependent on each other.
If you want to import the three types of data independently, make sure
you consider the following dependencies:
Dependency of totals records to the journal entries
When journal entries are posted, the system also updates the totals
records accordingly. Thus, if you import the totals records first, and
then the journal entries, your target system will receive other totals
records than those in the source system.
If you import totals records and journal entries separately, make sure
you import the journal entries first, and the totals records
afterwards.
Mutual dependency of additional financial data for consolidation of
investments and journal entries
Documents are posted when the activities of consolidation of
investments are executed. The additional financial data is linked to
the documents via the activity numbers. To prevent inconsistencies, the
import function assigns new activity numbers. It is not possible to
update matching activity numbers if the additional financial data is
imported independently of the journal entries.
