How To Fix UCF6665 - Extraord. valuation allowance no longer possible after transfer

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCF6 - Messages for Consolidation of Investments

• Message number: 665

• Message text: Extraord. valuation allowance no longer possible after transfer

What causes this issue?

It is not possible to perform the extraordinary valuation allowance
entered on the acquiring investor of transfer number &V1& of investee
unit &V2& (amortization &V3&, writeup &V4&) because the relevant
<DS:GLOS.3526B7A1AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>goodwill</> in the current
consolidation period has already undergone valuation allowance prior to
the transfer. If goodwill is carried in the local currency, the entries
for the extraordinary valuation allowance are initialized when
consolidation of investments is performed in an update run.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

If the incurrence of goodwill predates the current consolidation period,
you need to adjust the sequence of activities so that the transfer
occurs before the goodwill amortization. If this is not the case, then
you may have to enter the extraordinary valuation allowance for the
divesting investor of the transfer or make additional goodwill entries
manually to achieve the desired amortization behavior.
