  The SAP error message FMEUF185 indicates that there is an issue with the financial transaction related to a specific FS (Financial Statement) type. The message states that the FS type you are working with is not residual, and therefore, the entered maximum rate is being ignored.
  Cause:
  
  FS Type Configuration: The FS type you are using is configured in such a way that it does not allow for residual processing. This means that the system does not expect any residual values for this type, which can lead to the maximum rate being disregarded.
  Incorrect Data Entry: The maximum rate entered may not be applicable for the FS type in question, leading the system to ignore it.
  Business Logic: The business logic defined for the FS type may not support residuals, which is why the system is programmed to ignore the maximum rate.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check FS Type Configuration: Review the configuration of the FS type in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up correctly for the intended use. If you need it to be residual, you may need to adjust the configuration.
  Review Maximum Rate Entry: Verify the maximum rate you are trying to enter. Ensure that it is appropriate for the FS type you are using. If it is not applicable, you may need to adjust your entry or choose a different FS type.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP guidelines to understand the specific requirements and configurations for the FS type you are working with.
