System Response

Depending on which BAdI the incorrect data originates from, the system
responds in different ways:
BAdI MRM_PROPOSAL_DETERMINE

incorrect invoice item are called and reset to <LB>0</>, and you see a
warning message. You can no longer post the document with the data that
has been set to <LB>0</>.
BAdI MRM_DISTRIBUTION_MAAS
If the data is inconsistent, you see an error message. If you cancel
processing, the system adopts the last valid quantities and amounts.
BAdI MRM_RETENTIONS
If the data is inconsistent, the retention data of the affected
incorrect invoice item is deleted (amount, percentage, and due date),
and you see a warning message. You must enter the retention data
