• Message text: Item &1: discrepancy between inventory and totals data

What causes this issue?

Inventory data (value: &V3&) for inventory item &V1& does not
correspond with the equivalent entry in the totals database (value:
&V4&).
This indicates the possibility of an inconsistency between the
additional financial data for the elimination of IU profit/loss in
inventory and the totals database.

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?

Find out if for item &V1& totals data is kept, which is not relevant to
the elimination of IU P/L in inventory and, therefore, is not product
group-specific.
If this is not the case, the data set is inconsistent. For the
disclosed item, check the inventory data as well as the total of the
book values in the totals database and correct the data if necessary.
