  • What causes this issue?

    While executing a segment adjustment, you have entered the reversal
    fiscal year &V1& under the processing parameters. However, you have
    entered a smaller posting fiscal year &V2& under posting parameters.

    System Response

    Since segment adjustment is always future-oriented, the posting fiscal
    year always has to be greater than or equal to the reversal fiscal
    year. Therefore, the system does not execute the segment adjustment.

    How to fix this error?

    Check the entries for the reversal fiscal year or posting fiscal year.
