SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCFI - Messages for Elim. of IU Profit/Loss

• Message number: 037

• Message text: Cons unit &3: Variance between inventory data and totals data

What causes this issue?

The inventory data does not match the values in the totals database:
The book value of the inventory data and the local currency amount in
the totals database equals &V1& for the inventory-managing
consolidation unit(s) &V3& and inventory item &V2&.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Find out whether item &V2& also carries totals data that is irrelevant
for the elimination of IU profit/loss in inventory and was, therefore,
not recorded specifically by product groups as additional financial
data.
If this is not the case, then the data is inconsistent: Compare the
book values of the inventory data with the total of the local currency
amounts in the totals database for the inventory-managing consolidation
unit(s) &V3& and inventory item &V2&. Correct any entries with errors.
