SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AGR_MAINTENANCE_CHCK - Maintenance Check for Agreements

• Message number: 005

• Message text: Agreement created in another system; settlemnt + maint.only allowed there

What causes this issue?

You want to maintain or settle the rebate agreement &V1&. The agreement
was not created in this system, however, but originates in another
system (logical system: &V2&). It was flagged there as only externally
payable.

System Response

To prevent data inconsistencies, you are not allowed to make changes to
the agreement &V1& or the corresponding condition records in this
system. You are also not allowed to make settlements or post manual
accruals.
You can only display or (if it has the appropriate status) finalize the
agreement.

How to fix this error?

If you want to make changes to the agreement or its condition records,
you need to do so in the system in which the agreement was created
(logical system: &V2&). If the agreement has already been released for
settlement (see rebate status), no changes can be made.
If you want to make payments, you also need to do this in the system in
which the agreement was created.

Procedure for System Administrators

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

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AGR_MAINTENANCE_CHCK005 - Agreement created in another system; settlemnt + maint.only allowed there ?

  The SAP error message AGR_MAINTENANCE_CHCK005 indicates that an agreement (likely a contract or a similar document) was created in a different system, and as a result, certain operations such as settlement and maintenance are restricted in the current system. This is typically encountered in scenarios involving cross-system integration or when using multiple SAP systems (like SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA).
  Cause:
  
  Cross-System Agreement: The agreement was created in a different SAP system, and the current system does not have the necessary permissions or configurations to modify or settle it.
  System Configuration: The systems may not be properly configured to allow for cross-system transactions or data sharing.
  Data Consistency: SAP enforces data consistency and integrity, which means that certain operations can only be performed in the system where the data was originally created.
  
  Solution:
  
  Access the Original System: To perform the required operations (settlement or maintenance), you need to access the system where the agreement was originally created.
  Check System Configuration: Ensure that the systems are configured correctly for cross-system transactions. This may involve checking settings related to system landscape, RFC connections, and data sharing protocols.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to cross-system agreements to understand any specific requirements or limitations.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support for guidance on how to handle agreements across different systems.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as AGR_1251 (for role maintenance) or SE11 (for data dictionary) to investigate the agreement details.
  Integration Scenarios: Understand the integration scenarios between the systems involved, such as SAP PI/PO or other middleware solutions that may be in use.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform actions on agreements, even if they are in a different system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and understand the implications of working with agreements across different SAP systems.
