Reclassification activity triggers special logic for goodwill separation

What causes this issue?

You have activated the <ls>Separation of Goodwill from Investment</>
function in the settings for system utilization for consolidation of
investments.
You have entered the current goodwill entry for consolidation of
investments activity <ls>Reclassification of Treasury Stock</>.

System Response

When <ls>Separation of Goodwill from Investment</> is active, the
<ls>Reclassification of Treasury Stock</> activity identifies a goodwill
entry as goodwill separated from the investment structure. In this case,
the system uses the following special logic in consolidation of
investments:
The system does not post minority interest on effects from valuation
allowances or currency translation.
In partial divestitures, the system does not reduce the goodwill
separated from the investment.
In reclassifications, the system does not shift the goodwill separated
from the investment to the buying investor.

How to fix this error?

Check if you want to use this special logic. If this is not the case,
enter the goodwill entry for an activity other than the following ones:
Liquidation
Reclassification of Treasury Stock
