How To Fix UCD1062 - Derived line items for 'Deferred Tax - Balance Sheet' are ambiguous

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 062

• Message text: Derived line items for 'Deferred Tax - Balance Sheet' are ambiguous

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, several consolidation units have a financial
statement imbalance. However, the system cannot determine which
consolidation units the original line items with balance sheet items
belong to.

System Response

The system will calculate the deferred taxes of the balance sheet for
all consolidation units that have a financial statement imbalance. The
calculation for each of the consolidation units concerned uses as its
basis all line items with balance sheet items.

How to fix this error?

This constellation can occur 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.

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.
