• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MN579 - Not possible to update busn. vols. for reb. arr. (cond. record settled) ?

  The SAP error message MN579 indicates that the system is unable to update business volumes for a rebate arrangement because the condition record has already been settled. This typically occurs in the context of rebate processing in SAP, where the system is trying to update or adjust business volumes related to a rebate agreement, but the condition record associated with that rebate has already been settled, meaning that the financial transactions related to that rebate have been completed.
