Check your net calculation result.
Follow-up net calculations are executed by a mass run at a suitable
point of time. For example on the 15th December you might carry out the
net calculation for the next year.
The net calculation data can be provided for some years in advance, if
required, but take into account if it really makes sense to store net
calculation data that will be possibly need to be adjusted later due to
any legal changes.
If you think that the net calculation result should be calculated for a
longer time interval in the future contact your system administrator.

Procedure for System Administrators

If required, adjust the due date rule for net calculation in Social
Services Customizing under <LS>Basic Settings -> </>
<DS:SIMG.CRM4SV_PS_PMNT_FAM>Maintain Payment Family</><LS>.</>
An adjustment might require a mass run using the
<DS:TRAN.CRMS4_PS_NC>Net Calculation Mass Run</> transaction in order
to carry out the required net calculations.
Note that the database volume may increase.
