  • What causes this issue?

    You want to update ledger &v1& with version &v2& with rollup data or
    reset data using a reset set.
    Since, however, ledger &v1& is also updated with actual or plan data
    due to the actual and plan versions defined in configuration, the
    rollup or resetting can lead to data inconsistencies.

    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?

    If you want to use ledger &v1& for rollups only, inactivate the
    indicator 'Ledger postng allowd' in the ledger definition.
    If you also want to use a ledger that can be planned or posted to for
    rollups, you should normally use a different version for the rollup.
