FINS_REV_REC146 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FINS_REV_REC - Event Based revenue recognition

• Message number: 146

• Message text: Revenue recognition method &1 does not support reference transaction &3

What causes this issue?

Revenue recognition method '14-recognize revenue on delivery-based
invoice simulation' simulates an invoice based on an outbound delivery.
The outbound delivery is identified by the reference transaction
'MKPF-material document' and the usage '&V2&'. The billing documents are
delivery-related.
For the reference transaction '&V3&' such a simulation of an invoice is
not defined.

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 reference transaction is 'VBRK-billing document', the G/L account
&V4& needs to be assigned to a source of a proper usage which is revenue
relevant.
For other reference transactions, consider assigning the G/L account
&V4& to a source of a usage which is not relevant for revenue
recognition, or in the future use a different G/L account which is
already assigned to such a source.

The customizing changes are available as a self-service.
You can use the Manage Real-Time Revenue Recognition Issues app to
reprocess the revenue recognition calculation or to skip this error
message.

You can use the transaction REV_REC_COL_SD to reprocess the revenue
recognition calculation (reexecution) or to skip this error message
(minimal reexecution).
