Budget Structure: Consistency Check/Reconstruction
Use
The derivations between the posting and budget addresses that you have defined are saved by the system as index entries in the database. If you then make changes to existing account assignment derivations, inconsistencies can result from this. This is always the case if the assignments stored in the database do not match the changed account assignment derivation.
For this reason, it is recommended that you carry out a consistency check every time you change the account assignment derivation. You carry out this check using the program
Display Inconsistencies in Index
.
If inconsistencies in the index are listed, it is necessary to reconstruct the budget structure in accordance with the new account assignment derivation strategy. During the reconstruction of the budget structure, the index entries stored in the database are updated in accordance with the new strategy. You use the program
Reconstruction
for this.

Note
If you use the rules for validating the addresses, note that the reconstruction does not remove any objects. Instead, the reconstruction run reports errors for invalid objects. You must, however, delete these manually.
