SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TPM_TRL - Messages Class Treasury Ledger

• Message number: 103

• Message text: You cannot use the portfolio as a differentiation criterion

What causes this issue?

You want to initialize valuation area &V2& in company code &V1&. In
this valuation area the portfolio is used as the differentiation
factor.

System Response

You can use "portfolio" as a differentiation factor in the parallel
valuation areas only if both the following conditions are met (see also
note number 417455):
Portfolio control is not switched on in the operative valuation area.
The parallel valuation area is not initialized with the values for the
book value components of the positions, meaning that initialization
with legacy data is not required.
If one of these conditions is not met, "portfolio" cannot be a term of
differentiation in the parallel valuation area.
