SAP Error Message - Details

What causes this issue?

Contract change can either be:
Contract modification
Change of estimates.
Depending on the Customizing (
<DS:SIMG.FARR_VC_ACCT_PR>Configure Accounting Principle-specific
Settings</>) for a company code and accounting principle, one or the
other is applied when the scope of a contract is changed.
The change mode for a POB is determined by the field CHANGE_MODE (only
in the buffer, not written to database) and can be one of the following:
'P' or 'V' prospective change
'R' retrospective change
' ' (empty) no change
Prospective change
In case of a prospective change the system performs a prospective split
on the deferral items. The deferral item which corresponds to an open
reconciliation key in the period of the contract change is flaged with
the prospective split flag (PRO_SPLIT = 'X').
The split quantity, that represents the revenue quantity posted in
periods prior to the current change, is stored on all deferral items
beginning from the period in which the contract change was performed.
The example below illustrates this:
RECON_KEY,,POB_ID,,CONDITION_TYPE,,REV_QTY_DELTA,,REV_QTY_POSTED,,
PRO_QTY_CUMULATE,,HAS_PRO_SPLIT,,LATEST_DEFITEM
201801001,,POB1,,PR00,,2,,0,,0,,-,,-
201802001,,POB1,,PR00,,2,,2,,0,,-,,-
201803001,,POB1,,PR00,,2,,4,,0,,-,,-
201803002,,POB1,,PR00,,2,,2,,4,,X,,-
201804001,,POB1,,PR00,,2,,4,,4,,-,,-
201805001,,POB1,,PR00,,2,,6,,4,,-,,X
In this example, a contract modification was performed in period
2018/03. Therefore the split quantity is calculated and the prospective
split flag set. All deferral items, beginning from the contract change
period, are updated with the split quantity (PRO_QTY_CUMULATE).
If the split quantity on the last deferral item in the contract change
period (here 2018/03) deviates from the split quantity on the latest
deferral item, a C26 inflight check error is raised.
