M2314 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: M2 - LIS: Generating and updating info structures

• Message number: 314

• Message text: Warning: inconsistencies may occur when units updated => please check

What causes this issue?

The characteristics you have chosen could lead to inconsistencies in
the updating of the units.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Example:
The information structure does not contain a characteristic that
clearly indicates the currency in which data is to be updated (for
example, the sales organization); furthermore, the currency itself is
not a characteristic of the information structure. If documents in
differing currencies are now updated to the statistics, this can cause
the system to add different values together in a data record.

How to fix this error?

There are two possible ways you can guarantee that updating is
consistent:
RESET N1
Add a field to your information structure that clearly identifies the
unit, or add the unit itself as a characteristic.
Make sure that only documents which clearly refer to a unit are
created.
