Error Message:

Check value field assginment for condition “ZNET”.

Diagnosis and Analysis

When condition “ZNET” (application “V”) was transferred to value field “ERLOS” in operating concern “BP01″ in profitability analysis, the following became apparent:

•• The condition can take both positive and negative values

•• The flag “Transfer values with +/- signs” has not be set in customizing for value field assignment

•• Inconsistencies in the data could occur as a consequence.

System Response:

It is not possible to post the document in Profitability Analysis.

Solution and Procedure:

Activate the flag “Transfer values with +/- signs” for the condition “ZNET”.

You should activate the flag “transfer values with +/- signs” selectively for individual conidtions if:

1. The conditions can take both negative and positive values

2. The conditions appear several times in a billing document and thus cause a debit posting as well as credit posting. Activating “Transfer values with +/- signs, you balance the positive and negative values in a condition. Thereby, you can guarantee that the sum of positive and negative condition values is displayed as the correct total value in the value field assigned to that condition.

Warning in PRD System:

If you have already used condition “ZNET” to post data in the production system, then the sign in Profitability Analysis may differ from the previous sign as a result of the flag “Transfer values with +/- signs” having been activated. See the OSS note 52849 for documentation on the field “Tranfer values with +/- signs”. If deviating signs occur, it makes sense to move condition “ZNET” to a new value field.
