SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: OPS_SE_TCM_80 -

• Message number: 112

• Message text: Error merging negative service line during FSD transfer; PO not created

What causes this issue?

You have a freight settlement document that contains a negative charge
amount and you have enabled service-based invoice verification for this
vendor. The system attempted to merge the negative charge line with the
largest positive charge line when it attempted to create the purchase
order and service entry sheet. However the negative amount is larger
than any of the positive amounts in the individual charge lines. Because
SAP ERP does not allow a negative charge amount, it did not create the
purchase order.

Contact your system administrator.

Procedure for System Administrators

We do not anticipate that this situation will arise, because in freight
settlement document and service-based invoice verification, negative
charges are the result of a discount or a refund. A discount or refund
cannot be larger or equal to the largest positive amount in a service
line.
Alternatively, you can disable service-based invoice integration and
enable GR-based invoice verification in the master data for this vendor.
