• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G00 - SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 803

• Message text: Breakdown by &1: Default value not permitted

What causes this issue?

The current data record contains the characteristic value &V2& for
characteristic &V1&. This is identical to the default value.
However, this characteristic is assigned to item &V3& as a required
breakdown, for which the default value set is not accepted as an
explicit breakdown.

System Response

The system cannot process the current data record.

How to fix this error?

Make sure that the default value for breakdown characteristic &V1&
should be invalid on item &V3&. In this case, ensure that no data
records contain characteristic value &V2&.
Otherwise, allow the system to use the default value by assigning
another breakdown type. Note that these settings can be made dependent
on the consolidation chart of accounts and the version.
