Diagnosis
**** V1/V2 are replaced with a characteristic name + its value ****
**** E.g., consolidation unit ABC, or FS item 123 ****
V1 v2 is to be carried forward. it has a required breakdown bysubassignment &V3& with breakdown type 3 or 4. However, the data recorddoes not have a value for this subassignment.
A possible reason for this may be that there was no breakdown or therewas an optional breakdown by subassignment &V3& in the old fiscal year,and therefore the subassignment does not have a value. In this case, achange to a required breakdown with type 3 or 4 is not possible becauseno value can be found for subassignment &V3&.

Procedure
If &V1& &V2& had no breakdown or had an optional breakdown bysubassignment &V3& in the old fiscal year, you can do the following:

• If there was previously no breakdown, first you must change the
breakdown type to "optional" and supply a value for the subassignmentin the old fiscal year for all data records with &V1& &V2& (forexample, in one of the special periods). After this is done, you canuse the balance carryforward to change to a required breakdown withtype 3 or 4.

• If there was previously an optional breakdown, you must supply a
value for the subassignment in the old fiscal year for all data recordswith &V1& &V2& in which the subassignment is initialized (for example,in one of the special periods). After this is done, you can use thebalance carryforward to change to a required breakdown with type 3 or4.
