Message text: Error in the definition of the time fields
Errors were found in the definition of the time fields.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
In order to activate the summarization levels correctly, the system
requires that one or more time fields exist.
These are tje fields GJAHR and PERDE, as well as ALTPERIO if you are
using the alternative period type in the operating concern.
Three combinations of these fields are allowed in the definition of a
summarization level:
only GJAHR and PERDE (fiscal year and period)
only ALTPERIO (week/year)
GJAHR, PERDE and ALTPERIO
If the alternative period type is not active, the system does not let
you select the field ALTPERIO. In this case, choose GJAHR and PERDE by
entering * or a fixed value.
