  The SAP error message G01475 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the way that a difference item (in this case, a credit) is being processed in relation to another difference item (a debit). This typically occurs during the posting of financial transactions, particularly in the context of foreign currency transactions or when dealing with differences in amounts.
  Cause:

  Posting Logic: The logic used to determine whether a difference item should be posted as a debit or credit may be flawed or not aligned with the business rules.
