  • What causes this issue?

    You carry out the automatic consolidation of investments in the
    non-initial restatement characteristic value &V2& in from-period &V3& of
    its validity timeframe.

    System Response

    When executing automatic posting tasks in the restatement monitor, the
    system uses a "delta" procedure for the totals records and documents
    posted in the task (see SAP Note 1667855). The data stream for goodwill
    is an exception to this: This is <ZH>not</> subject to the "delta"
    procedure in the restatement dimension. The system generates separate
    goodwill entries for each restatement characteristic value, whereby each
    entry has the total value that is valid for the respective restatement
    characteristic value.
    The system uses a special logic so that goodwill entries are available
    for processing when consolidation of investments takes place in a
    non-initial restatement characteristic value: If it takes place in
    from-period &V3& of the validity timeframe of restatement &V2& of the
    current task execution, the system also reads the goodwill entries that
    are in this period in reference restatement &V1& and processes these for
    posting in the current restatement &V2&.

    How to fix this error?

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