How To Fix UCM0148 - Characteristic &1, attribute &2: Local attribute &3 is not date-dependent

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCM0 - Messages for Data Basis, Cons Area, ...

• Message number: 148

• Message text: Characteristic &1, attribute &2: Local attribute &3 is not date-dependent

What causes this issue?

You want to link attribute &V2& of characteristic &V1& with local
attribute &V3&. Note that although the assignment of the values of this
attribute to the characteristic values of characteristic &V1& in the
consolidation system is time-dependent, there is no exact date that
reflects the change. (An example would be because the assignment is
dependent only on the fiscal year, but not the period.) However, at the
same time, the technical storage of the assignment in BW is dependent on
a specific date. Thus, the system converts a representative period (for
example, that last posting period of the current fiscal year) into a
date using the fiscal year variant.
This can cause undesired results if the characteristic &V1& is
simultaneously used in consolidation areas that have different fiscal
year variants.

System Response

If, indeed, more than one fiscal year variant is used in the
consolidation areas of data basis &V4&, the system displays this message
as a warning. Otherwise, this message is merely informational.

How to fix this error?

Check whether you really want to use characteristic &V1& in
consolidation areas with different fiscal year variants. If you do,
decide whether the link to the local attribute is still desired, despite
the functional restrictions mentioned above.
