    INCLUDE GLT2_GENERAL_1 OBJECT DOKU ID TX
    INCLUDE GLT2_GENERAL_4 OBJECT DOKU ID TX
    INCLUDE GLT2_GENERAL_5 OBJECT DOKU ID TX
    The system tried to change the splitting rule for
    <DS:DE.SPLITMETHD>splitting method</> &V1&, accounting transaction
    &V2&, transaction variant &V3& into a form which it can process. This
    has not been successful.
    The reason for this is probably that a "loop" has been defined. A loop
    usually occurs when an item category PT1 is defined as an
    <DS:DE.LINETYPE_S>item to be split</>, with item category PT2 defined
    as a <DS:DE.LINETYPE_B>base item</>, and item category PT2 is also
    defined as an <ZH>item to be split</>, but with item category PT1 as
    its <ZH>base item</>.
