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

&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, even though &V1& &V3& has a required
breakdown.
A possible reason for this may be that &V1& &V3& had no breakdown or
only an optional breakdown by subassignment &V4& in the old fiscal
year, and hence the subassignment has no value. In this case, it is not
possible to switch the breakdown to required with breakdown type 3 or 4
because no value can be determined for subassignment &V4&.

System Response

How to fix this error?

If &V1& &V3& had no breakdown or had an optional breakdown by
subassignment &V4& in the old fiscal year, you can do the following:
If there was <ZH>previously no breakdown</>, first you must change the
breakdown type to "optional" and supply a value for the subassignment
in the old fiscal year for all data records with &V1& &V3& (for
example, in one of the special periods). Once this is done, you can use
the balance carryforward to change the breakdown to "required" with
breakdown type 3 or 4.
If there was <ZH>previously an optional breakdown</>, you must supply a
value for the subassignment in the old fiscal year for all data records
with &V1& &V3& in which the subassignment is initialized (for example,
in one of the special periods). After this is done, you can use the
balance carryforward to change the breakdown to "required" with
breakdown type 3 or 4.
