SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message text: Task &1: document type &2 is used for multiple activities

What causes this issue?

You are executing the task &V1& of type <LS>consolidation group change
</> for the non-initial restatement characteristic value &V3&.
When executing the consolidation group change for a non-initial
restatement characteristic value in the valid-from period of the res
tatement, the system may need to reverse postings that were created
previously in earlier periods by the same task for a reference r
estatement of the restatement currently executed so that the overall
values are displayed correctly in the <LS>Restatement</> reporting mode:
In the currently executed restatement, the system then reverses the
preparations for acquisition in the reference restatement if first
consolidation has not yet taken place there before the valid-from
period.
In the currently executed restatement, the system then reverses the
preparations for divestiture in the reference restatement if total
divestiture has not yet taken place there before the valid-from period.
A prerequisite for the correct reversal of the consolidation group
change from the reference restatement by the system is that the system
can uniquely identify these postings as preparations for acquisition or
divestiture. For this purpose, you are required to specify different
document types for preparation for acquisition or divestiture in the
task settings. This is <ZH>not</> the case for task &V1&: There, you
have specified the document type &V2& more than once.

System Response

When executing the task &V1& for a non-initial restatement
characteristic value, the system also reverses the preparation for
acquisition from the reference restatement even if a first consolidation
already took place in the current restatement. If this first
consolidation lies in the fiscal year of the current task execution, the
reporting view is falsified as a result.

How to fix this error?

Modify the settings of task &V1& to that effect that you assign
different document types to the various activities (acquisition,
divestiture, gain of control, or loss of control).
In the case of changes to the connection attributes of the consolidation
unit hierarchy (consolidation interval, accounting techniques) in a
non-initial restatement, you need to consider the following:
If you change the times (year and period) of first consolidation or
divestiture accounting with respect to the reference restatement, you
must <ZH>not</> set these times to a time before the valid-from period
of the current restatement. (This means that the valid-from period of
the restatement must be the earliest time at which you change the
consolidation interval of a consolidation unit.)
You must make the changes in ascending chronological order, starting
with the first period of the current fiscal year through to the
valid-from period of the restatement.
