What causes this issue?

The <LS>Check Settings</> function for reclassification and allocation
checks the consistency between the document type and method that you
have assigned to the respective task for all tasks of this type. The
consistency check reports an error if the definition of the document
type or method violates one of the following rules:
If you have specified in the document type that the system does not post
with automatic document inversion, you should choose "Periodic"
selection in the method in the trigger.
If you have specified in the document type that the system only posts
with automatic document inversion within a fiscal year, you should
choose the following settings in the method in the trigger:
"Cumulative" selection
Account assignments (items, transaction types) that are <ZH>not</>
posted from the balance carryforward:
Either you only use income statement items and statistical flow items in
the trigger
or you also use balance sheet items and statistical balance items. For
these items, however, you should exclude carryforward transaction types
in the trigger selection. Furthermore, you should not use items that are
carried forward to themselves.
If you have specified in the document type that the system also posts
with automatic document inversion in a new fiscal year, you should
choose the following settings in the method:
"Cumulative" selection in the trigger
Only balance sheet items and statistical balance items without
restriction for transaction types in the trigger
If the source or target item is broken down by transaction type, you
<ZH>cannot</> transfer the transaction type from the trigger to the
source or target by inheritance but instead have to specify the
transaction type explicitly there.

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

In document type &V4& and step &V3& of method &V2&, you have chosen a
definition for task &V1& that violates one of the above rules.
