Message text: Splitting differences requires an exchange rate indicator (method &1)
Method for interunit elimination &V1& should execute a splitting of
differences. An exchange rate indicator must be entered for the
currency translation of data reported in transaction currency into
group currency. Currency translation occurs for the exchange rate of
the exchange rate type, which is validly assigned to this exchange rate
indicator. However no exchange rate indicator is specified for method
&V1&.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
Check whether method &V1& should really execute a splitting of
differences. If this applies then enter an exchange rate indicator in
the further control options.
