• Message text: Reqd breakdown for diff. item &1 may possibly not be provided

What causes this issue?

IU elimination generates a differential line item per set of
subassignment values. The required breakdowns of the differential item
are determined as follows:
If the characteristic value is explicitly defined in the method
definition, this value is used.
Otherwise, the system uses the characteristic value from the data to be
eliminated. If that value is blank, the system determines the default
value for the characteristic, providing the breakdown type allows this.
Thus, a required breakdown may not be determined for a differential
item. This produces errors if all of the following applies:
The value of the characteristic (to which the differences are posted)
is not explicitly specified in the method definition.
Some of the eliminated items of the sets do not have a required
breakdown by this characteristic.
The characteristic cannot be filled with a default value.
This is currently the case for differential item &V1& in cons chart of
accounts &V2& (entry &V3& of method &V4&).

System Response

The method definition will be saved.
