SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCF9 - Messages for Balance Carryforward

• Message number: 021

• Message text: Add. financial data for equity is not carried forward (see long text)

What causes this issue?

In Customizing for the location of values for consolidation of
investments (in the consolidation workbench under <LS>Consolidation
Functions -> Consolidation of Investments -> Settings -> Location of
Values</>), you have specified on the <LS>General</> tab page that
equity data is to be read from the totals database and from additional
financial data. When you run the balance carryforward, the combined
location of values for equity data applies the following special logic
in this case: The system does <ZH>not</> carry forward the additional
financial data for equity data directly to the new fiscal year. Instead,
it copies the balance carryforward of the totals records to those equity
items that are <ZH>not</> to be read from the totals database (based on
the location of values on the <LS>Equity Data</> tab page) as the
balance carryforward to the additional financial data for equity data.
This special logic is required to ensure that totals data and additional
financial data for equity data is also consistent in the new fiscal year
even when different locations of values are used for a particular equity
item and its balance carryforward item. (Example: The retained earnings
are read from the additional financial data and the retained earnings
carried forward are read from the totals database.)
You have also assigned version combination &V1& in Customizing of the
special versions (in the consolidation workbench under <LS>Master Data
-> Versions -> Special Versions -> Storage of Additional Financial Data
</>). In this Customizing activity, you can assign those version
combinations in which the additional financial data is to be stored to
the special versions for additional financial data. The system then uses
the physical additional financial data in a specific version combination
for multiple special versions and therefore also for multiple
consolidation version combinations.

System Response

Reusing additional financial data in multiple version combinations is,
however, a problem if more than one location of values is used for
equity data and the version combination in which you run the balance
carryforward is <ZH>not</> the same as the version combination in which
you save the additional financial data.
When it runs the balance carryforward, the system would then overwrite
or even delete the physical additional financial data due to the special
logic for multiple locations of values for equity data. (Example: The
physical additional financial data from the actual version 100 is also
used for plan version 200. If the totals data for equity does not exist
in plan version 200, the physical additional financial data in version
100 and therefore also in the actual version would be deleted when the
balance carryforward is run.) To prevent this, the system suppresses the
balance carryforward for the additional financial data for equity if the
version combination in which the balance carryforward is run is <ZH>not
</> the same as the version combination in which you save the additional
financial data.
The situation in the current scenario is as follows:
You run the balance carryforward in version combination &V2&.
You save the additional financial data for equity in version combination
&V1&.
Since these version combinations are not the same, the system does <ZH>
not</> carry forward the additional financial data for equity.

How to fix this error?

To ensure the system carries forward the additional financial data for
equity, you must run the balance carryforward in version combination
&V1&.
