SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 117

• Message text: Amount from reference item & has already been fully reposted

What causes this issue?

You want to repost a portion of the amount from reference item &V1& to
another receiver.
The amount in this reference item has already been fully reposted so
you cannot enter any other receivers.

System Response

The remaining amount in reference item &V1& is 0. The SAP System cannot
perform this function.
A reference item corresponds exactly to a CO line item selected for
reposting. The total amount and quantity for all document items in a
line item must be the same as the amount/quantity from the original
line item.
The <ZH>remaining amount</> in the reference item is the difference
between the total amount to be reposted of the line item and the total
amount entered so far in all document items for this reference item.

How to fix this error?

Correct the individual amounts to be reposted in the document items for
reference item &V1& so that the amounts in the selected CO line item to
to be reposted to the given document items are not yet completely
distributed.
Repeat the <ZH>Other receivers</> function.
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.
