• Message class: GQ - FI-SL: Interface to Business Information Warehouse

• Message number: 101

• Message text: DataSource &1 is not assigned a ledger in client &2

What causes this issue?

DataSource &V1& is used in a different client to extract data from a
special purpose ledger. However, the DataSource is not assigned to a
ledger in the current client.

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 DataSource &V1& in the current client, assign it to a
ledger using transaction BW03. Note that a DataSource is a
client-independent object, whereas ledgers are client-dependent objects.
If a DataSource is to be used in more than one client, all of the
assigned ledgers have to belong to the same totals table.
