System Response

An error is generated by the system and the new VCR is not saved.

How to fix this error?

Determine the final disposition of the unapproved VCR(s). This
determination may lead to one of the following actions:
1) Delete the unapproved VCR. This will create a VCR delete PPN and
ensure that reversals are processed in the revenue and tax systems.
Then, the new VCR can be created.
2) Approve the unapproved VCR. If it is a duplicate of the VCR being
created, it is no longer necessary to create the new VCR. If a match is
based only on a partial key, the new VCR can be created but ensure that
both VCRs are valid, i.e. bookings for both VCRs will not lead to
double-bookings in the revenue and tax systems.
