What causes this issue?

The update for item &V4& of settlement document &V3& for a condition
record of rebate arrangement &V1& was not carried out correctly.
The system distributes the settlement income of a condition record over
all the statistical records concerned, i.e. over the characteristics of
the information structures in the Logistics Information System for which
business volumes exist for the condition record.
A consistency check was carried out prior to the update. This check
determined a difference between the income for the condition record and
the total income from all the statistical records.

System Response

The data for rebate arrangement &V1& was updated. A correction mechanism
was used to add an extra data record containing the difference amount.

How to fix this error?

Check the update of income.
It has basically been carried out correctly. However, there may be no
point distributing the data over the characteristics. If necessary, the
income can be corrected by carrying out a recompilation. Inform your
system administrator, as there is an internal error that must be
investigated and corrected by SAP.
The number of the arrangement affected is &V1&.

Procedure for System Administrators

The (internal) number of the affected condition record is &V2&.
