For the agreement type &V1& data was already updated in the info

effect until the statistical data of the info structure S469 is set up
with the initial values.

How to fix this error?

For a setup of the statistical data of S469, the data is updated by
means of the new Customizing settings. If settlements have already been
performed for an agreement type, this may entail unexpected events for
further settlements. It may happen that payments already made will not
be considered correctly.
If it is necessary to change updating the variable key, a new agreement
type should be created for this case. Updating the existing agreement
types should not be changed.
