• Message class: UCF6 - Messages for Consolidation of Investments

• Message number: 173

• Message text: Add. financial data goodwill being updated for the next fin. statement

What causes this issue?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

When executing consolidation of investments in an update run, the system
automatically generates default values for the additional financial data
of the goodwill in the next consolidation period.
One of the reasons this is necessary is so that you can enter impairment
charges in this next consolidation period before you execute the
automatic consolidation of investments measure.
The additional financial data of the goodwill is a prerequisite for the
consolidation of investments functioning correctly and completely. If
you do not execute an update run for the consolidation of investments in
a consolidation period, processing will be incorrect in all following
periods. The system then no longer processes any goodwill that occurred
in the past.

How to fix this error?

In each consolidation period, execute the consolidation of investments
in an update run, even if there are no activities to be processed.
