SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CACSSESTD - Settlement Scheduling - Transaction Data

• Message number: 098

• Message text: Scheduling for zero amounts/quantities; remuneration &1 must be justified

What causes this issue?

The remuneration type requires settlement items to be created even for
zero amounts/quantities. Settlement items provide the basis for
settlements in the commission system. The commission documentation is
created on the basis of the settlement using the correspondence
function. Reference to a remuneration with zero amount/quantity can thus
be made in the commission documentation.

System Response

Due to the obligation to produce supporting documents, the remuneration
line is transferred to settlement scheduling despite the zero amount/qua
ntity. The standard delivery of the logical service for settlement
scheduling SETTLEMENT_SCHEDULING creates a settlement schedule with one
item. The due date of this item is calculated on the basis of the
object-dependent parameters of the scheduling rule.

How to fix this error?

You specify object-dependent parameters for the scheduling rule for the
use of a tool (logical service) in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for In
centive Commission Management under <ZK>Basic and Master Data ->
Standard Commission Contract -> Agreement for Remuneration Scheduling ->
Agreement for Settlement Scheduling -> Define Scheduling Rules.</>
