How To Fix 68508 - The net outpayment amount could not be determined

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 68 - Message for DARWIN Loans (continued)

• Message number: 508

• Message text: The net outpayment amount could not be determined

What causes this issue?

The net outpayment amount could not be determined since the outpayment
commitment account in a document line (VDBEPI) was incorrectly set.
Technical description with the help of an example in order to find
errors:
For loans given, the outpayment commitment account, e.g. acct
0000153339 is contained in VDBEPI_RHABEN (VDBEPI-SBEWZITI = 'A') in the
actual outpayment record.
The outpayment commitment account 0000153339 must, on the other hand be
VDBEPI-RSOLL for a discount withholding record (this refers to the
credit item created for the withholding within the discount record)
since the withholding record reduces the outpayment amount.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

In VDBEPI the relevant fields are, for example filled as follows:
SBEWZITI SBEWART JEINBEHALT SSOLHAB RSOLL RHABEN
A |0001 | |S |0000046020 |0000153339
TA |1301 |X |S |0000153321 |0000099000
TA |3301 | |H |0000153339 |0000153321
If the withholding record increases the outpayment amount, e.g. a
premium, the outpayment commitment account would in that case, have to
be in VDBEPI-RHABEN.
If the outpayment commitment account is in VDBEPI-RHABEN instead of in
VDBEPI-RSOLL (or vice-versa) due to incorrect account determination,
the net amount cannot be determined in the outpayment.
(It is not possible to determine the net amount via the records
VDBEPI-JEINBEHALT = 'X', since no corresponding record with the set flag
VDBEPI-JEINBEHALT is available for the overdue items selected for
withholding in the document but the amount reduces the net outpayment
amount.)
