SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCF6 - Messages for Consolidation of Investments

• Message number: 403

• Message text: Reference restatement &1: total divest. with cons. unit &2 in period &3

What causes this issue?

You are executing a task of type <LS>consolidation of investments</> for
the non-initial restatement characteristic value &V4&.
When executing the consolidation of investments for a non-initial
restatement characteristic value in the valid-from period of the r
estatement, the system may need to reverse postings that were created
previously in earlier periods by the same task for a reference
restatement of the restatement currently executed so that the overall
values are displayed correctly in the <LS>Restatement</> reporting mode:
If first consolidation has not yet taken place before the valid-from
period for a consolidation unit in the restatement currently executed,
the system reverses <ZH>all</> consolidation of investments postings
from the reference restatement.
If first consolidation has taken place before the valid-from period for
a consolidation unit in the restatement currently executed, but total
divestiture has taken place, the system reverses all those consolidation
of investments postings from the reference restatement that represent a
total divestiture.

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

This is currently the case: In reference statement &V1&, there are
currently postings for the total divestiture of investee unit &V2& in
period &V3&. The system reverses these postings in the executed
restatement &V4&. This does <ZH>not</> guarantee that further activities
that were posted following the total divestiture in reference
restatement &V1& conform to expectations for the group and minority
interest from the perspective of the current restatement &V1&.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Check the consolidation of investments postings in reference restatement
&V1& as of period &V3& from the perspective of the current restatement
&V4& and, if required, adjust these manually in the valid-from period of
restatement &V4&.
In the case of changes to the connection attributes of the consolidation
unit hierarchy (consolidation interval, accounting techniques) in a
non-initial restatement, you need to consider the following:
If you change the times (year and period) of first consolidation or
divestiture accounting with respect to the reference restatement, you
must <ZH>not</> set these times to a time before the valid-from period
of the current restatement. (This means that the valid-from period of
the restatement must be the earliest time at which you change the
consolidation interval of a consolidation unit.)
You must make the changes in ascending chronological order, starting
with the first period of the current fiscal year through to the
valid-from period of the restatement.
