How To Fix MN499 - Time of update & with settlement basis acc. to invoice doc. not allowed

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 499

• Message text: Time of update & with settlement basis acc. to invoice doc. not allowed

What causes this issue?

Updating is to take place at the time of -&V1&- (&V2&). Therefore, the
supplier business volume value cannot be updated from the invoice
document because the latter is entered at a different point in time
(i.e. is not known at the time of -&V2&-).
Please note that the updating of the supplier business volumes is
carried out uniformly at a fixed point in time. Dividing the updates
among several different points in time is not allowed. Only the
provisions for accrued rebate income are generally updated at the time
of goods receipt postings.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Please change the content of the "Settlement basis" field, or choose the
value "invoice verification" as the time of update.
