• Message class: EEDMSET - Messages for Settlement

• Message number: 618

• Message text: Profile parameter &1 has already been allocated

What causes this issue?

A missing settlement parameter must be automatically created. The
result of the check was that parameter <ZH>&V2&</> was already
allocated as profile &V3& to a point of delivery. The allocation of the
points of delivery to the settlement units, grids or selection variants
is probably inconsistent.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check the Customizing of the allocated settlement parameters and the
definition of the settlement units, grids and selection variants. If
the same virtual points of delivery are used to save the settlement
parameters, the allocation role must be enhanced to include
<DS:DE.PROFROLECONTEXT>context information</>.
