How To Fix MN514 - Updating for item &2 of purchasing document &1 is incomplete

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 514

• Message text: Updating for item &2 of purchasing document &1 is incomplete

What causes this issue?

Not all the business volume data for the purchase order history records
(follow-on documents) for purchasing document &V1&, item &V2& were
updated. There are goods receipt or invoice documents for which an
update has not been carried out.
Possible causes:

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

A subsequently entered condition record of the arrangement was not
updated as the amount involved had not been processed by the report for
the retrospective update.
The retrospective update is not carried out automatically but by a
report. It may be necessary to carry this out separately for each
follow-on document.
Final settlement had already been effected when the document was
entered.
There is no further update for arrangements for which final settlement
has been effected.
The update was not carried out because of an error when the document
was entered.
Sometimes this message may be issued by mistake. In these cases, no
update is required for the document.

System Response

The system may not be able to use the business volume data and/or
provisions for accrued income of the goods receipt or invoice document
for subsequent functions.

How to fix this error?

Repeat business volume update for arrangement &V3& using the function
"Compilation of (subsequent) business volume data". If the update is
not executed when the document is released to financial accounting due
to an error occurring, the list output will contain the error message.
Please see the list output to find out the goods receipt/invoice
document affected.
You can see from the price determination data of the purchasing
document data (condition record not retrieved) or the indicator in the
list output of function "Compilation of (subsequent) business volume
data" whether a retrospective update has been carried out.
Note that the business volume data relevant to settlement may not be
correct in the statistics. If you perform/have already performed
settlement accounting for the condition record in question, this may be
incorrect. Therefore be sure to check settlement accounting that has
already been carried out.
You can correct settlement errors by carrying out settlement accounting
again (if necessary, cancel the settlement document).
If this relates to interim settlement, the business volume is taken
into consideration the next time settlement accounting is performed.
If the arrangement is settled periodically, and final settlement is
planned on the basis of the total business volume (see Customizing for
arrangement type), the business volume difference is taken into
consideration on final settlement.
You can include the business volume difference in final settlement for
the arrangement by carrying out a business volume comparison.
If necessary, contact your system administrator.

The condition record concerned has (internal) number &V3&.
