Err msg Goodwill global: All posting items must be specified after upgrade

Question

Hi ,
   After we upgarde our SEM-BCS from 3.2 to 6.0 , we got error message "Goodwill global: All posting items must be specified" when click the Check Setting in COI. The Goodwill global setting is not in 3.2. What should we do to solve this issue? And, do we need to adjust our ODS to the new structure according to Note 1080686 - Upgrade to SEM-BCS 6.0 - infrastructure enhancements?
Thank you,
Jeff

Is your implementation just technical upgrade from 3.2 to 6.0?
BCS has evolved a lot from 3.2 to 6.0. There are many process enhancements. There are also additional screens. The internal infrastructure has changed.The FINBASIS has also upgraded from 200 to 600 (BCS 6.0) or 700 (BCS 6.0 EHP 2.0). Apart from the note 1080686 mentioned by you, please have a look at the following note: 1095298.

Approaches differ from consultant to consultant. If I were you, I would have chosen to re-configure the whole BCS itself, under another new consolidation area using same data basis and master data, with all new features included in order to take the benefits of enhanced features of BCS 6.0.
