sequence:
A balance carryforward task of posting level category <ZK>All Posting
Levels</> or <ZK>Reported Financial Data; Adjustment and Standardizing
Entries</> must occur prior to a period initialization task of posting
level category <ZK>Adjustment and Standardizing Entries</>.
A balance carryforward task of posting level category <ZK>Two-Sided
Elimination Entries</> must occur prior to a period initialization task
of posting level category <ZK>Two-Sided Elimination (Tax Adjustment
Only)</>.
A balance carryforward task of posting level category <ZK>Consolidation
Group-Dependent Entries</> must occur prior to a period initialization
task of posting level category <ZK>Other Posting Levels</>.

deactivate it in the settings of the consolidation area you are using.

prior to period initialization task &V1& of corresponding posting level
category &V2& in the task sequence.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
