How To Fix CACSPSCASE061 - Specifying group contracts for dedicated contracts is critical

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CACSPSCASE - ICM: Partnerships, Commission Case

• Message number: 061

• Message text: Specifying group contracts for dedicated contracts is critical

What causes this issue?

If the <ZK> Dedicated Partnership Contracts</> switch is set for the
application, you do not need to specify a group contract for the
participant.
The concept of dedicated contracts provides unequivocal information on
the partnership through a membership contract, since each contract
cannot be assigned to more than one partnership. Constellations
differing from this, where a contract is assigned to more than one
partnership, may experience data inconsistencies.
In the current case, group contract &v3& is assigned to participant
&v1& (contract &v2&).

System Response

The system issues a warning about possible data inconsistencies. However
execution of the commission case continues. The partnership specified by
group contract &v3& is taken into account.
