How To Fix UCFV031 - Validation method &3: inconsistent use of posting level &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCFV - Messages for Validation

• Message number: 031

• Message text: Validation method &3: inconsistent use of posting level &1

What causes this issue?

You use posting level &V1& in selection &V2& in validation method &V3&.
Validation method &V3& is assigned to validation task &V4&.
Posting level &V1& <ZH>does not</> correspond with the setting that you
have selected in task &V4& for the <LS>Values</> field in the <LS>Values
/ Currency / Additional Settings</> group box.
The value selected for the <LS>Values</> field in the task specifies
which posting level the system processes when the task is executed:
Reported financial data: posting levels 00 and 01
Standardized financial data: posting levels 00, 01, and 10
Consolidated data: all posting levels
Posting level &V1& is <ZH>not</> included in the set of posting levels
that correspond to the current value specified for the <LS>Values</>
field.
The obsolete posting level &V1& also results in a performance
deterioration because the system reads <ZH>all</> the totals data of
this posting level.

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?

To prevent performance bottlenecks when validation is run, you should
use only those posting levels in the selections that are included in the
set of posting levels that correspond to the value specified for the
<LS>Values</> field in the task.
Check whether posting level &V1& in selection &V2& in method &V3& is
actually required. If possible, remove posting level &V1& from selection
&V2&.
If this is <ZH>not</> possible, you should move the validation rule in
question to a separate validation method.
