If a generic source item allows the items of all specified sets to be
broken down by subitems of the same subitem category.
If a non-generic source item breaks down the items of the set which
belongs to the item by subitems.
This condition is not met with source item &V4& for the entry &V1& in

For this reclassification rule enter a non-generic subitem.
