• Message class: UCUS0 - Messages for Tasks, ...

• Message number: 053

• Message text: Task &2: Method &1 cannot be used

What causes this issue?

You have assigned method &V1& to copy task &V2&. This is invalid because
the method?s data stream types are incompatible with the processing type
of the task:
To copy reported financial data, choose <ZK>Per Consolidation Unit</>.
To copy documents, note the following:
If the document type in the target selection of the copy method contains
the posting level <ZK>Adjustments to Reported Financial Data</>, choose
<ZK>Per Consolidation Unit</>.
If the document type in the target selection of the copy method contains
the posting level <ZK>Two-sided Elimination Entry</>, choose
<ZK>Two-sided</>.
If the document type in the target selection of the copy method contains
the posting level <ZK>Reported Data: Consolidation Group Change</>,
<ZK>Standardizing Entry: Consolidation Group Change</>, <ZK>Two-Sided
Elimination: Consolidation Group Change</>, or <ZK>Consolidation
Group-Dependent Posting</>, choose <ZK>Per Consolidation Unit</>.
If the copy method does not have a document type selection, you can
choose <ZK>Per Consolidation Unit</>, <ZK>Two-sided</>, or <ZK>Per
Consolidation Group</>.
To copy additional financial data (with the exception of <ZK>Activity
Sorting</>, <ZK>Sequence of Activities</>, and <ZK>Noncurrent Assets
(Consolidated)</>), you can choose the <ZK>Per Consolidation Unit</>,
<ZK>Two-Sided</>, or <ZK>Per Consolidation Group</> processing type.
To copy <ZK>Activity Sorting</> or the <ZK>Sequence of Activities</>,
choose <ZK>Consolidation Group/Unit Independent</>.
To copy <ZK>Noncurrent Assets (Consolidated)</>, choose <ZK>Per
Consolidation Group</>.
When this is being done, method &V1& does not necessarily need to belong
to the <DS:GLOS.3526B791AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>period category</>
currently displayed; it can also belong to a different period category.
