SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G01 - SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 822

• Message text: Method &1: target assignment: incorrect item type in item &2

What causes this issue?

In step &V3& of reclassification method &V1&, you have specified the
item &V2& as the target assignment. You have assigned this
reclassification method to reclassification task &V4&. In this task, you
have selected the <LS>Assets Held for Sale</> checkbox.
When you define the target assignment in the reclassification method for
this type of task, the item type depends on the setting that you
selected for <LS>Processing Type of Assets Held for Sale</> in the
reclassification method:
If the processing type is <LS>Consolidation Units</>, you have to use
the balance sheet items <LS>Assets Held for Sale</> or <LS>Liabilities
Held for Sale</> as the trigger.
If the processing type is <LS>Discontinued Consolidation Units</>, you
have to use the income statement item <LS>Discontinued Operation</> as
the trigger.
If the processing type is <LS>Partner Units Held for Sale</> or <LS>
Discontinued Partner Units</>, you should not specify an explicit item
or subitem in the target assignment because these processing types only
reclassify the partner unit.
If the processing type is <LS>Equity-Method Investee Units Held for Sale
</>, for the target assignment you must use the items you specified in
Customizing for consolidation of investments as the posting items for
investments in the equity method (transaction CXJ3).
The item type for item &V2& does not meet the above requirement.

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?

Adjust the Customizing settings for the target assignment in
reclassification method &V1& as outlined above by making sure you only
define items with an appropriate item type as the trigger.
