How To Fix G01582 - Breakdown by &1 may not be possible (diff.item &2, method &3, entry &4)

G01582 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G01 - SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 582

• Message text: Breakdown by &1 may not be possible (diff.item &2, method &3, entry &4)

What causes this issue?

The default indicator is selected in differential item &V2& in entry
&V4& method &V3& for characteristic &V1&. FS item &V2& has a required
breakdown for this characteristic. In this case one of the three
following conditions must be met:
FS items in the sets to be eliminated all have a required breakdown by
characteristic &V1&.
In this case breakdown by characteristic &V1& for differential item
&V2& can be transferred from the eliminated data.
FS items in the sets to be transferred have a partial breakdown by
characteristic &V1&, for which a single value or a set with non-initial
characteristics has been defined in the sets to be eliminated.
In this case only data records were actually eliminated, for which
breakdown characteristic &V1& was assigned and this value can be
transferred into the differential row.
A value is specified in differential item &V2& for characteristic &V1&.
The value can remain initial, if a general defaut value exists for
characteristic &V1&.
This value is transferred in the differential row, if the breakdown by
characteristic &V1& is not possible in the data to be eliminated.
At the moment none of the three conditions have been met, so that when
posting a differential row to FS item &V2&, the breakdown by
characteristic &V1& is not possible.

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?

Check the definition for entry &V4& of method &V3& using the criteria
described above. SAP recommends that you always define a value for the
characteristic directly in the differential item when default
indicators are selected.
