SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCF6 - Messages for Consolidation of Investments

• Message number: 082

• Message text: Carryforwards: C/F item &2 or &3 is missing in the data source

What causes this issue?

Under "Location of Values" on tab page "General" you specified that
equity data is to be read from the totals database.
In this case, for all items you specify on the "Equity" tab page under
"Location of Values", you also need to specify the corresponding items
for balance carryforwards on the same tab page.
The system proceeds as follows: For each item on the "Equity" tab page,
the system checks whether it exists as an "original item" under
<ZK>Balance Carryforward -> Items to be Carried Forward</>. If it is an
original item, the system then checks whether the associated
(carryforward) items for "Debits" and "Credits" have also been specified
under "Location of Values" on the "Equity" tab page.
The debit item &V2& and/or credit item &V3&, which are associated with
item &V1&, is not specified on the "Equity" tab page.
Note that you do not have to explicitly specify the items &V1&, &V2&,
and &V3& on the "Equity" tab page; alternatively, they can be contained
in a range of items you have specified.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Either specify the items &V2& and/or &V3& under "Location of Values" on
the "Equity" tab page, or change the customizing settings under
<ZK>Balance Carryforward -> Items to be Carried Forward</>.
