sheet item <LS>Assets Held for Sale</> or <LS>Liabilities Held for Sale
</> as the target assignment.

must use the <LS>Discontinued Operations</> item from the income
statement as the target assignment.

trigger (balance sheet or income statement item) to be inherited as the
target assignment.
If you selected the <LS>Valuation Allowance of Assets/Liabilities</>
checkbox in the reclassification task, the following applies:
If the processing type is <LS>Consolidation Units Held for Sale</> or
<LS>Discontinued Consolidation Units</>, you must select balance sheet
item <LS>Assets</> or <LS>Liabilities Held for Sale</> as the target
assignment.
