What causes this issue?

You have activated function module <LS>FKK_SAMPLE_0933_REVENUES</> and
included it in table <LS>TFKFBC</>. This is to retain the split of the
revenue accounts in the field <LS>SDATA</> in table &1 per tax code. The
first 75 characters are required for this.
However, you have already made other entries for the first 75 characters
(or less) of field <LS>SDATA</>.

System Response

There is a termination, since the value of the first 75 characters of
the field can no longer be determined uniquely.

How to fix this error?

If you have already defined event 930 to fill field <LS>SDATA</>, use a
DDIC structure to process this field.
In this DDIC structure, you have to enter the structure
<LS>FKK_REPDATA_REVENUES</> as the first include. The additional
information fields that you want to hold in <LS>SDATA</> follow.
This means that function module <LS>FKK_SAMPLE_0933_REVENUES</> can take
up the first 75 characters with the revenue account split.
