It is still possible to carry out settlement accounting with regard to
rebate arrangement &V3& despite this warning message. However, the
figure for the volume of business done with the supplier (upon which the
calculation of the rebate due is based) and the provisions for rebate
income may not be correct. Consequently, the settlement program may
compute wrong rebate income amounts and wrong amounts of provisions for
income requiring dissolution (reversal).
