&V1& &V3& is to be carried forward to &V1& &V2&.
&V1& &V2& has a required breakdown by subassignment &V4& with breakdown
type 3 or 4. However, the record to be carried forward does not have a
value for this subassignment because &V1& &V3& either has no breakdown
or only has an optional breakdown by subassignment &V4&.

System Response

How to fix this error?

You have the following options:
Change the breakdown for &V1& &V2& by subassignment &V4& to breakdown
type 1 or 2.
If breakdown type 1 is used, records with an initialized value for
subassignment &V4& are transferred unchanged (as is).
If breakdown type 2 is used, the initialized value for subassignment
&V4& is replaced with the overall default value.
If &V1& &V2& is to have a required breakdown by subassignment &V4& with
breakdown type 3 or 4, then the subassignment must be filled in all
data records for &V1& &V3& that are carried forward to &V1& &V2&. To
accomplish this, change the breakdown type for &V1& &V3& to optional,
and fill all respective data records of the old fiscal year with a
value for subassignment &V4& (for example, in one of the special
periods). For future fiscal years it would be helpful define a required
breakdown by subassignment &V4& for &V1& &V3& to ensure that there is
always a value for this account assignment.
