How To Fix KD804 - Receiver &1 is already sender in settlement hierarchy

KD804 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KD - CO Settlement

• Message number: 804

• Message text: Receiver &1 is already sender in settlement hierarchy

What causes this issue?

The settlement receiver &V1& entered in the settlement rule of object
&V2& already exists in the settlement hierarchy as a sender (to object
&V3&). This produces a closed hierarchy (cyclical) that cannot be
settled correctly.

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?

Remove object &V1& either as a sender to object &V3& or as a receiver
for object &V2&. Then execute report RKSRULE4 to correct the hierarchy
numbers.
Although you can indeed save the distribution rule for a closed cycle,
this does not produce a complete settlement or a defined sequence in the
settlement.
