G01166 - No breakdown check possible for selected range of fiscal years

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G01 - SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 166

• Message text: No breakdown check possible for selected range of fiscal years

What causes this issue?

In Global Settings (transaction CXB3), you have specified the &V1&
fiscal year as the effective from fiscal year for the use of
consolidation line items in SAP S/4HANA.
Before the effective from fiscal year, the system uses the consolidation
structures (totals records, documents) to store the transaction data.
In the effective from fiscal year and in later fiscal years, the system
stores the transaction data in consolidation line items in SAP S/4HANA.
Compared with the consolidation structures, these have a higher degree
of detail.
On the request screen of the breakdown check, you have specified a range
for the <LS>Fiscal Year</> characteristic, which includes fiscal years
before the effective from fiscal year, as well as the effective from
fiscal year or later fiscal years. This means that the data origin for
the breakdown check is not unique.

System Response

The system terminates the breakdown check with an error message.

How to fix this error?

Run the breakdown check multiple times, and ensure each time you execute
it that the data origin is unique.
Example: You want to check or correct the breakdown of the transaction
data in the years 2015 to 2018. You have specified 2017 as the effective
from fiscal year for consolidation line items in SAP S/4HANA. In this
case, run the breakdown check twice and specify the following ranges of
fiscal years:
First run: Period from 2015 to 2016
Second run: Period from 2017 to 2018

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.
