• Message number: 786

• Message text: Breakdown by &1: Deviating fixed value in breakdown category

What causes this issue?

The breakdown categories of items &V3& and &V4& contain different fixed
values for characteristic &V1&. Because of this, for reciprocal
postability the values of dependent subassignments must be initialized.
However, in the current case this would not be valid because for item
&v3& the breakdown by the dependent characteristic &v2& is mandatory
(breakdown type > 2).

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 applicable, adjust the breakdown categories involved. One option is
to assign breakdown type 2 to characteristic &v2& and to define default
values.
