How To Fix UCF6870 - Matching of activity numbers cannot be executed

UCF6870 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCF6 - Messages for Consolidation of Investments

• Message number: 870

• Message text: Matching of activity numbers cannot be executed

What causes this issue?

Matching of activity numbers cannot be executed because the customizing
settings in the location of values for consolidation of investments are
set so that the investment or equity data is read from the totals
database.
The totals database does not contain the activity number. If the
investment or equity data is read from totals data, matching of activity
numbers is not necessary.
If the investment data is located in the additional financial data and
the equity data is read from both the totals database and the additional
financial data, you can run matching of activity numbers for those
activities that are triggered by additional financial data.
