SAP Error Message - Details

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 and the additional
financial data.
In this case, for all items that are specified on the "Equity" tab page
under "Location of Values" and are flagged to "Read More Consolidation
Entries", you also need to specify the corresponding items for balance
carryforwards on the same tab page and they must also be flagged to
"Read More Consolidation Entries".
The system proceeds as follows: For each item on the "Equity" tab page
which is flagged to "Read More Consolidation Entries", the system
checks whether it exists as an "original item" under <ZK>Balance
Carryforward -> Item to be Carried Forward</>. If it is an original
item, the system then checks that (a) the associated (carryforward)
items for "Debits" and "Credits" have also been specified under
"Location of Values" on the "Equity" tab page, and (b) those items also
have been flagged to "Read More Consolidation Entries".
However, debit item &V2& and/or credit item &V3&, which is (are)
associated with item &V1&, is not listed on the "Equity" tab page and
also flagged to "Read More Consolidation Entries".
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 -> Item to be Carried Forward</>.
