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

  • Message number: 338

  • Message text: Offsetting of income effected with different account key

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    Account key &V1& has been entered against condition type 'S000'
    (settled income). This differs from account key &V2& of the condition
    type &V3& requiring settlement.
    Under certain circumstances, this may lead to different postings of the
    two amounts (total rebate income, income from previous settlements) in
    Financial Accounting.
    If income from previous settlement runs (e.g. from interim or partial
    settlements) is to be offset against the total rebate due in the course
    of settlement accounting with respect to a condition record, the income
    relating to the condition record is initially identified in the price
    determination data. This must be reduced by the deduction of rebate
    income already received as a result of previous settlements. This is
    done by including a data record for condition type 'S000' (settled
    income) in the price determination data.

    System Response

    Since a different account key does not normally make sense, the system
    issues this warning message.
    However, a settlement document will be created in any case (settlement
    run).

    How to fix this error?

    Please check whether account determination in its existing form is
    desired (settlement schema &V4&).
    You may have to cancel any already created settlement documents.
    As a rule, no account keys should be maintained for condition type
    'S000'. The account keys of the condition type for which settlement is
    to be carried out are adopted.
