SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCF6 - Messages for Consolidation of Investments

• Message number: 089

• Message text: Carryforwards: Inconsistencies in equity -> stat.equity; eqty item &1

What causes this issue?

You assign statistical items to the equity items on the "Statistical
Equity" tab page under "Equity".
You also assign the (carryforward) "Debit" and "Credit" items to the
"Original Items" in the customizing settings for balance carryforward (
<ZK>Balance Carryforward -> Items to be Carried Forward</>)
The following applies to all equity items: The (carryforward) items
"Debit" and "Credit" for the statistical items of an equity item must
be identical to the minority interest items of the (carryforward) items
"Debit" and "Credit" of an equity item.
Accordingly, the system checks that the following calculations are
identical for all equity items:
<ZK>1st calculation</>: The system determines the statistical item of
an equity item. Then the system determines the (carryforward) items
"Debit" and "Credit" for the statistical item (which should correspond
to the "Original Item").
<ZK>2nd calculation</>: The system determines the (carryforward) items
"Debit" and "Credit" for an equity item (which should correspond to the
"Original Item"). Then the system determines each statistical item for
the (carryforward) items "Debit" and "Credit" (each of which should
correspond to the equity items).
However, the two calculations do not produce the same results for
equity item &V1&.

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 check the customizing settings for balance carryforwards under
<ZK>Balance Carryforward -> Items to be Carried Forward</> with regards
to equity item &V1&, or check the customizing settings for "Equity" on
the tab page "Statistical Equity".
