How To Fix FMCA_INCORR083 - Revenue type &2 not completely valid for inbound corresp. category &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FMCA_INCORR - Messages for Inbound Correspondence

• Message number: 083

• Message text: Revenue type &2 not completely valid for inbound corresp. category &1

What causes this issue?

The inbound correspondence category &V1& is defined in accordance with
the revenue type &V2&. The validity of the inbound correspondence
category is not completely within a validity period of the revenue type
&V2&.
The validity period of a revenue type is influenced by 2 IMG activities:
in IMG activity <LS>Define Revenue Type</> you define for how long this
revenue type should be valid. This validity can possibly be limited
through an (again time-dependent) assignment of a contract object type
to this revenue type. The revenue type is only valid in the period where
the two time definitions overlap.
<ZH>Example:</>
Revenue type RT1 is valid from 2005 until 2007. Contract object 1 was
assigned to RT1 for the period 2006 until 2008. The validity period of
the revenue type is therefore 2006-2007.
Note that revenue types are only valid in the tax periods that were
actually assigned to them. This means that a revenue type that was
assigned tax periods 2005 and 2006 is not automatically valid in the
corresponding tax periods for the quarters. If you expect both annual
and quarterly values for a revenue type, you must assign both to this
revenue type (so 2006 until 2006 and Q12005 until Q42006).
