What causes this issue?

Settlement document type &V1& is assigned to arrangement type &V2&
(subsequent settlement) for partial or final settlement.
Settlement type &V2& is not used for settlement at the level of the
plants involved. A supplier billing document item is created with a
plant reference for each of the condition records and tax codes.
The ID "Enter plant data" for settlement document type &V1& should
therefore be set. However, this is not the case.

System Response
