Before continuing with your project, you must either reverse the decisions causing inconsistencies and then click Finish again or click Cancel to cancel your changes entirely.
Cause
There could be some missing values in your fine-tuning settings that causes the inconsistences and that are required for your generic country version to function correctly.
Resolution
To complete scoping, some records that were previously deleted need to be restored. These deleted records are currently causing foreign key errors, which prevent the change project from being finished.
One possible cause of this issue is missing valuation data. Restoring the fixed asset valuation data may resolve the issue.
The following steps can be followed to restore the valuation data:
- Navigate to Business Configuration work center.
- Select the Overview view.
- Open Activity List.
- Search for Activity: Fixed Assets Valuation View.
- Select the activity and choose Change Immediately.
- Select Restore Defaults.
- Select Save option.
If the issue still occurs after following the above steps, the exact values that need to be restored must be identified. In this case, please open a support case so that SAP Support can analyze the backend application logs and assist further.
