SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCD1 - Messages for Document and Breakdown Check

• Message number: 061

• Message text: Deferred Tax - Balance Sheet: Balancing adjustment and trigger item exist

What causes this issue?

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. When this is done, the system
uses the values of the original line items with income statement items
during the weighting process. In the present case, the document
additionally contains one or more line items in the balance sheet that
also trigger the posting of deferred taxes in the balance sheet without
an effect on net income. However, the system cannot determine which of
the balance sheet line items are not the cause of the financial
statement imbalance.

System Response

The system makes the assumption that all original line items with
balance sheet items are related to the financial statement imbalance,
and thus posts the deferred taxes to those consolidation units with a
financial statement imbalance.

How to fix this error?

This constellation can occur when multiple business transactions are
posted in a single document. By distributing the business transactions
to different posting documents, you can enable the system to determine
each individual clearing line item.

Procedure for System Administrators

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