What causes this issue?

The updating of the business volumes will be carried out
retrospectively (i.e. the condition record was created after the

The document conditions for purchasing document &V1&, item &V2&, do not
contain this condition record. For this reason, no provisions for
accrued rebate income were determined and posted.
Consequently there can be no updating of provisions for rebate income
either.

System Response

Provisions for accrued rebate income were not updated.

How to fix this error?

Please note:
There is no provision for the retrospective determination and posting
of provisions for rebate income.
