• Message class: OB - IS-OIL Downstream TDP messages

• Message number: 103

• Message text: Valuation record reconciled: & & & (Converted / Calculated value)

What causes this issue?

The converted excise duty value (in Euro) for the listed material /
valuation area / valuation type combination has been reconciled with
the calculated excise duty value (in Euro).
There may be differences between the two values because of rounding
differences from local currency conversion to euro. The excise duty
value is calculated by multiplying the current excise duty quantity for
a material with the current excise duty rate held in table OIH01
(Excise Duty Rates table).
If there is a difference between the two values, then the excise duty
value held in the valuation segment for the material is updated with
the calculated value.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
