How To Fix GL514 - Summarization & has changed since last execution

GL514 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GL - FI-SL Rollup

• Message number: 514

• Message text: Summarization & has changed since last execution

What causes this issue?

If you change a summarization that has already been executed, this can
lead to data consistency problems.
For example, if you change the indicator 'Summarize sender cost
center by level', this could lead to new records being inserted into
the database. The old records, however, will no longer be updated and
will therefore unnecessarily increase the amount of data in the
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?

When you make such a change to the summarization, you need to check if
the data with the option 'Delete completely' should be made consistent
before the summarization is executed again.
If you make extensive changes to the summarization definition, you
should consider whether or not it would be more sensible to create a
new summarization.
&NOTE&
You can use the 'History' function for more information on previous
summarization runs.
