How To Fix FARR_RAI753 - Item &1: changes of processed billing plan invoices not allowed

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FARR_RAI - Revenue Accounting Item

• Message number: 753

• Message text: Item &1: changes of processed billing plan invoices not allowed

What causes this issue?

Invoice item &v1& has been processed before. Processing invoice items
with the same key twice is not allowed because this would create
inconsistencies in the accounting engine.

System Response

Item &v1& could not be processed.

How to fix this error?

The integration component should prevent the multiple transfer of
invoice items with the same item key. The same item key should only
occur when a cancellation of an invoice item is transferred.
To change the attributes of an invoice item, such as quantity or amount,
cancel the invoice item. Then create a new invoice item. We recommend
that you use a different key for the newly created invoice item.
In order to be able to process the incorrect invoice item, you must
retransfer the invoice item with the same attributes as the already
processed invoice item.

Procedure for System Administrators

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