How To Fix MSINT344 - Interest cannot be returned for item &1/&2/&3 for &4

MSINT344 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MSINT - Interest Calculation, Reports RFINT****

• Message number: 344

• Message text: Interest cannot be returned for item &1/&2/&3 for &4

What causes this issue?

Interest was calculated on the mentioned open item and then the item was
cleared, whereby the clearing date (or the payment date) falls in the
time period for which interest was calculated. In cases like this, the
program determines the excess interest that was calculated for the item
so that it can return the interest.
A problem occurs when the clearing date is the same as the end of the
period for which interest was calculated. Data records with the same key
would arise when the system writes the interest data to table INTITIT.

System Response

The program does not calculate interest for the business partner.
