Period &v1& - &v2& of the pool contract has been billed. The date for
the split, &v3&, lies within this period.

corresponding billing request item (BRI) has one of the following status
values:
I1073 (Billed)

If you change or terminate a pool linkage, the previous period and the
corresponding BRi cannot have one of these status values either.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_BILLPLAN_UBB532 - Period &1-&2 of pool contract already billed; accrual on &3 not possible ?

  The SAP error message CRM_BILLPLAN_UBB532 indicates that there is an issue with billing in a pool contract. Specifically, it states that the specified period (from &1 to &2) of the pool contract has already been billed, and therefore, an accrual on the specified date (&3) is not possible.
  Cause:
  
  Billing Already Processed: The primary cause of this error is that the billing for the specified period has already been completed. In SAP, once a billing document is created for a specific period, further billing or accruals for that same period are not allowed.
  Incorrect Period Selection: The periods selected for the accrual might overlap with already billed periods, leading to this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the billing plan or contract that are not aligned with the intended billing process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Billing Status: Verify the billing status of the pool contract for the specified periods. You can do this by checking the billing documents created for those periods in the SAP system.
  Adjust Periods: If you need to perform an accrual, ensure that the periods you are trying to bill have not been billed yet. Adjust the periods accordingly.
  Reopen Billing Period: If necessary, you may need to reverse the billing document for the specified period (if business processes allow) to enable further accruals. This should be done with caution and in accordance with your organization's policies.
  Consult Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to billing plans and contracts in SAP. Ensure that they are set up correctly to allow for the desired billing and accrual processes.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP documentation for further assistance.
