• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UCF6145 - Selected item: full goodwill: item &1 is not statistical ?

  The SAP error message UCF6145 indicates that there is an issue related to the treatment of goodwill in the context of consolidation. Specifically, the message states that the selected item (in this case, "full goodwill") is not statistical, which means that the system is expecting a certain configuration or setting that is not currently met.
  Cause:
  
  Goodwill Configuration: The error typically arises when the configuration for goodwill in the consolidation settings is not set up correctly. Full goodwill is a method of accounting for goodwill that recognizes the entire goodwill of a subsidiary, including the portion attributable to non-controlling interests.
  Statistical vs. Non-Statistical Items: In SAP, statistical items are used for reporting purposes and do not affect the financial statements directly. If the system expects a statistical item but finds a non-statistical item (or vice versa), it can trigger this error.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data of the entities involved, such as incorrect settings for the consolidation units or the goodwill items.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for goodwill in the consolidation module. Ensure that the settings for full goodwill are correctly defined and that they align with the expected treatment of the items.
  Review Item Settings: Verify the settings for the specific item (item &1) mentioned in the error message. Ensure that it is correctly classified as either statistical or non-statistical based on your consolidation requirements.
  Adjust Master Data: If there are discrepancies in the master data for the consolidation units, correct them. This may involve updating the settings for the relevant entities to ensure they are consistent with the expected treatment of goodwill.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring goodwill and handling statistical items in your version of SAP.

  Testing: After making changes, perform testing in a development or quality assurance environment to ensure that the error is resolved before moving to production.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or your organization's SAP support team for further assistance.
