SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MN - Message class for subsequent settlement (Purchasing)

• Message number: 084

• Message text: Data of last period used for period &-&

In the extension of rebate arrangement &V3& to the next overall
validity period (e.g. to the following year), the individual periods of
the extended (new) arrangement are determined from the settlement
calendar.
The latter contains more periods for the extended arrangement than it
does for the original rebate arrangement &3&.
The condition record of arrangement &V3& for the period &V1& to &V2&
was therefore used for one period of the of the extended (new)
arrangement.

System Response

Rebate arrangement &V3& has been extended provided that no errors
occurred and a message confirming this was issued. However, the
extended (new) arrangement has more condition records than arrangement
&V3&.

How to fix this error?

Please check the condition records of the new rebate arrangement, whose
number you will find in a further system message.
As a rule, this error message is attributable to the way the settlement
calendar has been set up. In this case, a different number of
individual periods are stipulated within each of the overall validity
periods of the two arrangements. Please check whether this setting is
intentional.
If necessary, contact your system administrator. The key of the
condition record is &V4&.
