How To Fix J2573 - &4 System cannot reconcile data

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: J2 - Message Class for Development Class JBT

• Message number: 573

• Message text: &4 System cannot reconcile data

What causes this issue?

As part of precosting, an attempt was made to reconcile transaction
dates according to a target value. The reconcilliation attempt failed.
The following causes are possible:
1. The settings do not allow for calculation of a target value.
If, for example, the reconcilliation is carried out via
a predefined NPV margin, the costing rule assigned also
has to be able to calculate the NPV margin.
2. No value could be determined which satisfies the budget. If, for
example, an unrealistic target value (to high of an NPV margin)
is used, the reconcilliation can not be made.

System Response

Reconcilliation could not be completed.

How to fix this error?

fir 1.
Check whether the technical constraints (costing rule, etc.) allow for
a reconcilliation using a target value.
For example, make a precosting run without the reconcilliation factor,
and look in the detail log to see whether values can also be calculated
for the target value.
for 2.
Check whether your target value is realistic. You can determine a
'realistic' value, for example, using precalculation without the
reconcilliation function.
If necessary, try varying the start value for the field to be
reconciled and restart the reconcilliation.
