• Message class: RETMFI - Messages for Posting Terms

• Message number: 031

• Message text: &1: profit center accounting is active, enter a profit center for &2

What causes this issue?

The system settings require the entry of a profit center.
An entered profit center automatically applies to the lower-level
objects. Therefore, it is sufficient to enter the profit center at the
business entity level.
An entry in the lower-level objects (building, land, rental object, or
real estate contract) is only necessary if the profit center differs
from the higher-level object.
Changes to the profit center automatically have an effect on all
lower-level objects for which no profit center was explicitly defined.
