How To Fix AJ362 - Not possible to balance rounding in quantity conversion

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AJ - Billing program

• Message number: 362

• Message text: Not possible to balance rounding in quantity conversion

What causes this issue?

During the quantity conversion, rounding could not be balanced for
entries corresponding to reference number &v1& in the internal table
ILZWT.
The rounding difference (rounding total - comparison total) is usually
deducted from the entry with the highest consumption.
If the difference is greater than the highest consumption, the
remainder is deducted from the entry with the second highest
consumption until the rounding difference is distributed completely.
In this case, the system could not perform the distribution completely
due to the number configuration. Additional data:
Rounding total: &v2&
Comparison total: &v3&
Entry with the highest consumption had SY-TABIX &v4& in the ILZWT
table.
