Message text: Cannot derive line items for 'Deferred Tax - Balance Sheet'
The system wants to derive the posting items for deferred taxes from the
original line items of the document that contain balance sheet items.
The document contains line items for multiple consolidation units, but
the entries per consolidation unit do not balance (when disregarding the
values for any <LS>clearing item for consolidation units</>, if such
item exists). Therefore, the system needs to derive the posting items
for deferred taxes for a given consolidation unit also from the original
line items of other consolidation units that contain balance sheet
items. When this is done, the system uses the values of the original
line items with income statement items during the weighting process.
However, the present case shows that the sum of all original line items
with income statement postings is either near or equal to zero. This
prevents the weighting process.
The system cannot derive the line items for <LS>Deferred Taxes - Balance
Sheet</>, and therefore cannot post the document.
This error occurs only when multiple business transactions are posted in
a single document. This situation can be corrected by distributing the
business transactions to different posting documents. This will enable
the system to derive all clearing line items and complete the postings.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
