SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G01 - SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 467

• Message text: Breakdown by characteristic &2 cannot be provided for target item &1

What causes this issue?

The destination item &V1& for reclassifying to third parties with
method entry &V3& has a required breakdown by characteristic &V2&. This
breakdown must be filled from the eliminated items. However, this is
not possible, or only to a limited degree, because at least those items
of a set, to which the reclassification rule is relevant, do not
support a required breakdown by characteristic &V2&.

System Response

If the required breakdown by characteristic &V2& definitely cannot be
supplied, program execution will be terminated.
If the FS items of a set have a required breakdown by characteristic
&V2&, for which a reclassification rule is relevant, the program will
be executed for the moment. An error message will be sent if, while
creating the elimination documents, it turns out that the destination
item &V1& of required breakdown by characteristic &V2& cannot be
supplied for.

How to fix this error?

If applicable, change the breakdown settings for destination item &V1&.
