• Message text: Characteristics for noncurrent asset and assets/liabilities are identical

What causes this issue?

In the data model of <DS:GLOS.3C14A7065A82D511B1250008C784EFB1>data
basis</> &V1&, you have specified the same characteristic (&V2&) for the
roles <ZK>Noncurrent Asset </>as well as <ZK>Assets/Liabilities.</>
These characteristics must be different.

System Response

The definition of data basis &V1& is inconsistent and cannot be saved in
this state.

How to fix this error?

Ascertain whether you want to use both of the consolidation functions
<DS:GLOS.0189DD39EDFCC240BE33AAFA9689BCF8>elimination of interunit
profit/loss in transferred assets</>and <ZK>Capitalization and Valuation
Allowances</>.
If you do, choose different characteristics for <ZK>Noncurrent Asset</>
and <ZK>Assets/Liabilities</>.
If the identical assignments are intentional in order to use only one
characteristic in the master data, to do this you should instead add to
the InfoObject catalog another characteristic that references
characteristic &V2&, and then you should assign both of these
characteristics.
