How to fix this error?

Check your specifications in the data model under <ZK>Assets/Liabilities
</>. Call up input help and choose a valid characteristic for role &V3&.
If you want to assign a characteristic that is not listed in input help,
make sure that the following preconditions are met:
General:
The characteristic is contained in the InfoObject catalog that is
specified for characteristics.
Another role has not been assigned to the characteristic in the
consolidation data model.
Asset/liability-managing consolidation unit:
The characteristic references another characteristic that has the role
<ZK>consolidation unit.</>
Noncurrent asset; assets/liabilities:
If the characteristic is dependent on other characteristics, then each
independent characteristic must have either the role <ZK>consolidation
unit,</> the role <ZK>fixed in the consolidation area,</> or no role at
all - that is, it is not used in the data model.
If the characteristic references another characteristic, no role is
assigned to the referenced characteristic.
If both roles (<ZK>noncurrent asset</> and <ZK>assets/liabilities</>)
are used, different characteristics exist for these two roles. (Either
characteristic is allowed to reference the other characteristic.)
Acquired asset:
The characteristic references the characteristic with the role
<ZK>noncurrent asset.</>
If the referenced characteristic is dependent on another characteristic
with the role <ZK>consolidation unit,</> then the acquired asset
dependent on the corresponding partner unit.
Retired asset:
The characteristic with the role <ZK>noncurrent asset </>can be used
simultaneously with the role <ZK>retired asset.</>
Otherwise, this characteristic references the characteristic with the
role <ZK>noncurrent asset.</>
Noncurrent asset - document:
The characteristic references the characteristic with the role
<ZK>noncurrent asset.</>
If the referenced characteristic is dependent on another characteristic
with the role <ZK>consolidation unit,</> then the "noncurrent asset -
document" is dependent on the corresponding asset/liability-managing
consolidation unit.
