SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 524

• Message text: Bus. volume data not deleted, double bus. vol. update possible

What causes this issue?

You have requested the retrospective compilation of statistics for all
relevant invoices received. Data that is to be retrospectively updated
and data that has already been upated is processed.
For the current document, the update is not retrospective. Instead,
business volume data is recompiled. As you have not asked the system to
delete the business volume data, data is liable to be updated twice.

System Response

The system will allow the updating of the condition record in order to
permit a selective recompilation of the statistics.

How to fix this error?

If you want to carry out a selective recompilation of statistics,
ensure that the operative data (version '000') in the LIS structures
for this arrangement are deleted first. This means that data is not
updated twice.
If you only want to carry out updates for missing or retrospective
data, set the <LS>Supplementary business volume update </> indicator on
the selection screen.
Please also refer to the documentation for this indicator.
