SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 177

• Message text: No busn. volume comparison statistics records exist for condition record

What causes this issue?

The system has attempted to read the statistics data records relating
to the business volume comparison/agreement process (internal
identification: condition record number &V1&, tax code &V2&, plant
&V3&, statistics version 001) because a business volume comparison has
been carried out for rebate arrangement no. &V4&.
However, no data record was found in the database table S074.
Possible reasons:

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

You have not carried out the comparison of business volumes for all
condition records of the arrangement. Therefore, of course, no data has
been stored.
An invoice relevant to this rebate arrangement may have been received
after the comparison/agreement of business volume data, whereas at the
time the latter process was effected no invoices had been received. The
condition record was therefore not taken into account during the
comparison/agreement process.
Database or internal program error.
Please note that the fields "tax code" and "plant" in the internal
identifier may be empty.

System Response

Since the system was unable to read the statistics records, the
requested action had to be terminated or the results may be incorrect.

How to fix this error?

Please check whether a comparison of business volumes has been carried
out for the condition record, or whether there has been a subsequent
receipt of an invoice.
Check whether the specified business volume data is correct. You will
find the relevant business volume data in the menu "Business volume
comparison -> Display/Perform".
You can carry out a new business volume comparison. You can add and
save the missing data. The renewed saving leads to a correction of the
apportionment of the business volume data from the comparison/
agreement process among the periods also in the case of a subsequent
invoice receipt. However, you may have to first cancel the final
settlement for the rebate arrangement.
Otherwise, this problem involves a database or program error. In this
case, please contact your system administrator.
