SAP Error Message - Details

• Message number: 709

• Message text: Org. change for first consolidation/divestiture at period end/start

What causes this issue?

The organizational change-related activity &V1& with activity number
&V2& has been recorded even though the investee unit is either
first-consolidated at the end of the period or divested at the beginning
of the period.

System Response

The activity is executed either after first consolidation or prior to
the divestiture. This ensures that the first consolidation is not the
last activity of the period or the total divestiture is not the first
activity of the period. Thus, the sequence of activities may not adhere
to the settings made by the user.

How to fix this error?

Check the reported financial data and the settings for first
consolidation or total divestiture.
