SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCF9 - Messages for Balance Carryforward

• Message number: 003

• Message text: &1 &2: No value for subassignment &3

What causes this issue?

**** V1/V2 are replaced with a characteristic name + its value ****
**** E.g., consolidation unit ABC, or FS item 123 ****

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

&V1& &V2& is to be carried forward. It has a required breakdown by
subassignment &V3& with breakdown type 3 or 4. However, the data record
does not have a value for this subassignment.
A possible reason for this may be that there was no breakdown or there
was an optional breakdown by subassignment &V3& in the old fiscal year,
and therefore the subassignment does not have a value. In this case, a
change to a required breakdown with type 3 or 4 is not possible because
no value can be found for subassignment &V3&.

balance carryforward to change to a required breakdown with type 3 or
