How To Fix G01824 - Document type &1: incorrect posting level &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G01 - SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 824

• Message text: Document type &1: incorrect posting level &2

What causes this issue?

You have assigned document type &V1& to reclassification task &V4&. In
this task, you have selected the <LS>Assets Held for Sale</> checkbox.
In reclassification method &V3&, you have selected <LS>Equity-Method
Investee Units Held for Sale</> in the <LS>Processing Type of Assets
Held for Sale</>.
This kind of task is used to reclassify the investment adjustment that
results from the equity-method investee units held for sale to the <LS>
Assets Held for Sale</> destination account. The triggers for this
reclassification are consolidation of investments postings.
You therefore need to assign a document type for consolidation
group-dependent entries (on posting level 30) to reclassification task
&V4&. However, document type &V1& is defined for posting level &V2&.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Adjust the Customizing settings for reclassification task &V4& by
assigning a document type that posts at posting level 30 to the task.
