How To Fix BK116 - Reference item & is not fully reposted

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BK - Create, Display, Reverse Controlling Document

• Message number: 116

• Message text: Reference item & is not fully reposted

What causes this issue?

You want to post the reposting document entered, but reference item
&v1& has not been fully reposted.
Reference item &V1& still contains a remaining amount or quantity to be
reposted.

System Response

The CO line items selected have not been fully reposted. Therefore, the
document cannot be posted. The SAP System proceeds to document item
&V2& for processing.
A reference item is the same as a CO line item to be reposted. This can
only be reposted in its entirety. This means that the total quantity
for all document lines for a line item must be the same as the quantity
from the original line items to be reposted.
The remaining quantity in a reference item is thus the difference
between the total quantity of the line item to be reposted and the sum
of all the quantities entered to this point in all document items for
this reference item.
When editing a document item for the first time, the SAP System
automatically defaults the remaining quantity to be reposted from the
associated reference item.
This value may be overwritten, but it cannot exceed the default value.

How to fix this error?

Correct the individual reposting amounts in document item &V2& or in
the other document items belonging to document itme &V1& so that the
amount and the quantity of the CO line item to be reposted is
completely reposted to the document.
To view the reference item's remaining amount, use the <ZH>RefItem</>
function for document items entered for the reference. A dialog window
appears with the posting date of the corresponding reference item.
Post the document after the complete reposting of reference item data
is completed.
