  • What causes this issue?

    Item &v3& is part of a predecessor document chain, that is, it refers
    either to a predecessor document or is a predecessor document itself or
    both.
    Items of a predecessor document chain are aggregated during processing.
    The aggregation must not lead to a negative value for the overall
    quantity after the aggregation.
    The system tried to process one or more items of the predecessor
    document chain that has item &v1& as its highest level predecessor
    document. Processing of all items of this chain would lead to a negative
    overall quantity after aggregation. Therefore all items that belong to
    this chain could not be processed.

    System Response

    The system cannot process item &v3& for accounting principle &v2&.

    How to fix this error?

    Change the revenue accounting items of the predecessor document chain,
    so that the overall quantity of the items in this chain is still
    positive after aggregation.

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