How To Fix UCF6131 - Method &2: Item &1 has no breakdown by upper unit

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCF6 - Messages for Consolidation of Investments

• Message number: 131

• Message text: Method &2: Item &1 has no breakdown by upper unit

What causes this issue?

Statistical items defined in consolidation of investments (C/I) methods
must be broken down by characteristics with the role
<DS:GLOS.3526B7BEAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>upper unit</>. However, in
method &V2&, item &V1& is not broken down by 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 by the C/I methods need a required breakdown
by upper unit (default value not allowed).
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 by the C/I methods, then you need to assign an
optional breakdown by upper unit to those statistical items.
