• Message class: FKKINV - Invoicing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable

• Message number: 598

• Message text: Invoice amount not the same as amount to be pre-notified (SEPA)

What causes this issue?

You are using the <DS:DE.INV_FUNCTION_KK>invoicing function</>
<DS:DE.INVFUNC_SEPA_PRENOT_KK>SEPA Direct Debit Pre-Notification</>.
During an internal check of the invoicing document to be created, the
system determined a difference between the amount to be displayed in the
invoice and the amount to be pre-notified.
Through integrated account maintenance, invoice receivables or credits
posted in invoicing were cleared against other receivables or credits of
the contract account, whereby the cleared items are not relevant to the
final invoice amount. See also <DS:SIMG._FICAINV_FQ2630>Define Item
Selection for Account Maintenance</> or <DS:FU.FKK_SAMPLE_2631>event
2631</>.
Since the printed invoice represents the direct debit pre-notification
of the open items of invoicing, this can be misleading in certain cases
depending on how the form is set up.

System Response

Invoicing was carried out nonetheless.
