How To Fix UCT8007 - Cannot determine source context

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UCT8 - Message class for UCT8(mapping)

• Message number: 007

• Message text: Cannot determine source context

What causes this issue?

The system requires the source context to derive the source selection fo
r mapping rules with the <LS>Condition</>or <LS>Reassignment</>
operators. If the source context cannot be determined, the source
selection result may be incorrect. The system is able to determine the
source context when the source fields for the version and time (for
example, fiscal year and posting period) are known in the system.

System Response

Error messages are issued when you try to save the method Customizing
settings or when you execute the data collection task.

How to fix this error?

If the source is a <zh>consolidation area</>, you need to define mapping
rules that use the source fields for version <zh>and</> time.
If the source is a <zh>source data basis</>, you need to define mapping
rules that use the source fields for version <zh>or</> time.
When these prerequisites are met, the system is able to determine the
source fields for version or time for the source selection by inverting
the mapping rules from the target fields.
<zh>Note:</> The system issues an error message if the inversion of the
source fields for version or time produces ambiguous values (for
example, if mu
ltiple periods are determined for the posting period). In this case, you
need to adjust the Customizing settings for the mapping rule that uses
the version or the time as the source field.
