Message text: Predecessor reference for subitems is not unique
When using the subitems (<DS:DE.CC_RFKNT>account assignment IDs</>,
categories, or conditions) the identification of predecessor document
items is possibly not unique. The chain structure is therefore not
defined properly as each chain should have a unique source document.
The system checks whether a unique chain assignment is possible with the
participating line items. If this is not possible, the line items cannot
be processed.
Do not use the report for MM documents that contain account assignment
IDs, categories, or conditions.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
