SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G01 - SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 462

• Message text: One or more items in set &1 not broken down by transaction currency

What causes this issue?

According to elimination method &V2& the differences are to be split.
This is only possible if the eliminated items are broken down by
transaction currency. However, one or more items in set &V1& of method
entry &V3& has no breakdown by transaction currency.
During splitting of differences, the differential items are posted in
the transaction currency of the business relationship to be eliminated
only if the differential items are broken down by transaction currency.
If this is not the case, the transaction currency key and amount in the
differential lines are filled with group currency. Then the elimination
entries generally show a balance not equal to zero in transaction
currency.

System Response

The IU eliminations for the specified method entry are carried out with
the above restrictions.

How to fix this error?

You can ignore this message if one of the following conditions are met:
Effectively no eliminations are carried out for the items contained in
set &V1& that have no breakdown by transaction currency. For example,
this can be the case because there is no data to be eliminated or the
data does not meet further restrictions defined in method entry &V3&.
The restriction just described for assigning the transaction currency
is acceptable.
Otherwise, change set &V1& of method entry &V3& so that it only
contains items that are broken down by transaction currency. As an
alternative you can deselect splitting of differences under Further
Control Options for method &V2&.
