How To Fix GH052 - Additional quantity w/o quantity is not possible

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GH - Help functions and tools in FI-SL

• Message number: 052

• Message text: Additional quantity w/o quantity is not possible

What causes this issue?

The additional quantity is seen as a dependent factor for a quantity in
FI-SL. The additional quantity must be able to be dervied from the
quantity.
You do not want to use the quantity, but rather the additional quantity.
This does not make sense, since the additional quantity does not have
its own key within the FI-SL tables. That is why you would not be
able to differentiate between records posted one after the other to
additional quantities.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Only use additional quantities in conjunction with the quantities.
