How To Fix CRM_FS_FIMA_CHECKIMP001 - Could not calculate remaining balance because of inconsistent FIMA data

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CRM_FS_FIMA_CHECKIMP - FiMa Checkls Implementierung

• Message number: 001

• Message text: Could not calculate remaining balance because of inconsistent FIMA data

What causes this issue?

You want to calculate a remaining balance.

System Response

The system terminated processing because the underlying data is not
consistent with financial mathematics.

How to fix this error?

Execute a pricing process, for example, for a quotation. The system can
then calculate the remaining balance for a planned change date for the
active preceding contract.
A remaining balance is always calculated using the currently saved data.
If you change the data in an item without executing a financial
mathematics calculation, this item is inconsistent. You can calculate a
remaining balance only after this item has been updated. You should
therefore determine whether the item has been set to the relevant <ZK>To
Be Calculated</> status or an error has occurred and, if necessary,
calculate the installments. After the installments have been calculated
successfully, you can recalculate the remaining balance.

Procedure for System Administrators

The error message indicates that the system has not been configured
correctly. Remaining balances are usually calculated for active
documents; these should not have been activated if they have an
inconsistent status. This may be because the action choreography
contains errors or the lease inception was implemented incorrectly. If
processes are executed in activated documents, such as a floating rate
adjustment, it is also possible that these processes may lead to
inconsistencies because calculation algorithms have failed.
