How To Fix G01594 - Diff. item &1 and set items make use of maximum sets for char &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G01 - SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 594

• Message text: Diff. item &1 and set items make use of maximum sets for char &2

What causes this issue?

Characteristic &V2& for differential item &V1& should be transferred
from the data to be eliminated per default in entry &V4& of method &V3&
. For differential item &V1& and at least one set item, the permitted
values for characteristic &V2& are limited by a maximum value.
If the maximum sets used by the set items for characteristic &V2& are
not subsets of the maximum set of differential item &V1&, invalid
values for characteristic &V2& could possibly be transferred in the
differential rows, when posting differences. This would lead to posting
errors.

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 whether the maximum set of characteristic &V2& for differential
item &V1& contains all the characteristic values, which are contained
in the maximum sets used by the set items. If necessary correct the
maximum sets or the differential item.
