How To Fix EMV125 - Change will affect all future documents

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EMV - Reserved for IS-U: move-in/out

• Message number: 125

• Message text: Change will affect all future documents

What causes this issue?

You have attempted to change the allocation of the contract account to
a collective bill account.
When adding a contract account to a collective bill account, all
documents that are subsequently posted to the contract account go into
the collective bill of the newly entered collective bill account.
If the contract account is separated from a collective bill account,
all documents subsequently posted to the contract account no longer go
into the collective bill.

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?

If the contract account is involved in a move-in/out that is not yet
completed, check whether a move-out must first be completed (or a
move-in must be reversed) and then newly created with a new contract
account. Branch to the overview of all contracts not terminated in the
contract account and then branch to the display of the terminated
contracts.
Example:
A business partner reports his/her move-out from premise 4812 on 01/31
and his/her move-in to premise 4913 on 02/01. Services for the
connection object allocated to premise 4913 are paid from a collective
bill. However, services for the connection object allocated to premise
4812 are not. In this case, final billing should be carried out for
premise 4812 before the business partner's contract account is
allocated to the collective bill account.
