  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: UCR0 - Messages for Reporting of Transaction Data

  • Message number: 002

  • Message text: Unable to determine consolidation area for data basis &1

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    You have executed a query on virtual InfoProvider &V1&. The system now
    attempts to use the selection criteria of the query to find exactly one
    <DS:GLOS.D5692F24DA2CD511BCBF0800060D9C68>consolidation area</> that is
    assigned to <DS:GLOS.3C14A7065A82D511B1250008C784EFB1>data basis</> &V1&
    .

    System Response

    No consolidation area could be determined.

    How to fix this error?

    Use the same single value restrictions from the definition of the
    consolidation area as in the query definition, or in the simplest case
    in the global filter of the query.
    Make sure you copy all restrictions into the query definition.
    <ZK>Example</>: Suppose you have a consolidation area A1 with
    consolidation chart of accounts C1 and fiscal year variant V4, and there
    is a second consolidation area A2 with chart of accounts C2 and fiscal
    year variant V4. If you restrict the query only to fiscal year variant
    V4, both consolidation areas (A1 and A2) meet the selection criteria and
    so the system cannot select one or the other.
    If you use a single value restriction from the definition of the
    consolidation area in a row and column of the query, you must use this
    restriction in all rows and columns.
    If you are reporting across consolidation areas, the system must be able
    to determine a unique consolidation area for each row/column/cell of the
    query based on the global selections and the row and column selections
    of the query.

    Procedure for System Administrators
