How To Fix MN187 - Change in supplier bus. volume data after comp. (add. bus. vol. settled)

MN187 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 187

• Message text: Change in supplier bus. volume data after comp. (add. bus. vol. settled)

What causes this issue?

A business volume comparison and agreement process has been carried out
for rebate arrangement no. &V3&. Subsequent to this process, the
business volume data changed (due to further incoming invoices,
reversal etc.).
The condition record has the internal identifier &V1&, item number
&V2&.

System Response

The system has performed the requested function (for example,
settlement accounting) on the basis of the previously effected
comparison/agreement of business volume data. In addition, however, it
took into account the difference in business volume due to the
subsequent change in the statistical data.
As a result, the scale and condition basis and hence possibly also the
rebate income due have changed.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the scale and condition basis and the rebate income are
correct in their present form.
For further details on the business volume data and the differences,
choose <LS>Business volume comparison -> Display</>.
If necessary, you can cancel any settlement document that may have been
created. Then you can carry out another comparison of business volumes
and perform settlement accounting for the rebate arrangement again on
the basis of the changed data.
