SAP Message UCF9004 - Carryforward from &1 &3 to &1 &2: No value for subassignment &4

Diagnosis
**** V1/V2+V3 are replaced with a characteristic name + its value ****
**** E.g., consolidation unit ABC, or FS item 123 ****
V1 v3 is to be carried forward to v1 v2.
V1 v2 has a required breakdown by subassignment v4 with breakdowntype 3 or 4. However, the record to be carried forward does not have avalue for this subassignment because &V1& &V3& either has no breakdownor only has an optional breakdown by subassignment &V4&.

Procedure
You have the following options:

  • Change the breakdown for &V1& &V2& by subassignment &V4& to breakdown
    • type 1 or 2.
    If breakdown type 1 is used, records with an initialized value forsubassignment &V4& are transferred unchanged (as is).
    If breakdown type 2 is used, the initialized value for subassignmentV4 is replaced with the overall default value.
    • If &V1& &V2& is to have a required breakdown by subassignment &V4& with
      • breakdown type 3 or 4, then the subassignment must be filled in alldata records for &V1& &V3& that are carried forward to &V1& &V2&. Toaccomplish this, change the breakdown type for &V1& &V3& to optional,and fill all respective data records of the old fiscal year with avalue for subassignment &V4& (for example, in one of the specialperiods). For future fiscal years it would be helpful define a requiredbreakdown by subassignment &V4& for &V1& &V3& to ensure that there isalways a value for this account assignment.
