• Message number: 460

• Message text: Differential items have different usages (check)

What causes this issue?

The differential items in entry &V1& of method &V2& have different
applicattions, that is there are both balance sheet and income
statement items. If apportionment entries need to be posted in IU
elimination, the differential items must all be either balance sheet or
income statement items. Otherwise the entries will not be posted
correctly.

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?

See if apportionment entries are needed for running tasks that use
method &V2&. This is usually the case if one of the tasks are started
via a consolidation group that contains one or more proportionally
consolidated units. If this is true, assign to the method entry &V1&
only differential items that are all either balance sheet items or
income statement items. If this doesn't satisfy your requirements,
reclassify the values to the desired differential items after you have
executed IU elimination.
