• Message number: 019

• Message text: You cannot change this value; system has used it for processing

What causes this issue?

You want to change the value of a separate VAT coefficient. This is,

the following operations for the given period:
Input VAT separation
Linking of outgoing 0% invoices
Tax transfer using Secondary Events program (J3RFUM26)
It is also not possible to change a coefficient for which the system has
assigned the value "0". The system does this for the following months
when you select the quarter as the fiscal period and enter a value for
the first month.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

You have the following alternatives:
If you have only separated input VAT, you must delete the values saved
to the database.You can then enter new values for the coefficients.
If you have linked outgoing 0% invoices to incoming invoices, you must
delete the values saved to the database for linking and input VAT
separation.
If you have already transferred tax, you cannot change these values.
If you are using the quarter as the period, you cannot change a value
that the system has set to "0".
