UCF6129 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCF6 - Messages for Consolidation of Investments

• Message number: 129

• Message text: Goodwill global: Item &1 is NOT broken down by upper unit

What causes this issue?

The following statistical items under "Goodwill Global" must be broken
down by characteristics with the role
<DS:GLOS.3526B7BEAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>upper unit</>. However, item
&V1& is not broken down by characteristics with the role <ZK>upper unit
</>. The status of this breakdown depends on when the role <ZK>upper
unit</> was added to the data basis:
If the role <ZK>upper unit</> has always resided in the data basis, then
the statistical items used under "Goodwill Global" should have a
<ZU>required</> breakdown by upper unit (default value not allowed).
However, if the role <ZK>upper unit</> was added to the data basis at a
later date, and if, at that time, postings were already made to the
statistical items used under "Goodwill Global", then you need to assign
an <ZU>optional</> breakdown by upper unit to those statistical items.
