• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PRA/CHECK_INPUT169 - Remitter &1 and Layout &2 Cross reference not maintained ?

  The SAP error message /PRA/CHECK_INPUT169 Remitter &1 and Layout &2 Cross reference not maintained typically occurs in the context of the SAP Public Sector Management (PSM) or SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR) modules. This error indicates that there is a missing cross-reference configuration between a remitter and a specific layout in the system.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a defined relationship (cross-reference) between the remitter (identified by &1) and the layout (identified by &2) in the system. This relationship is necessary for the system to process transactions or reports correctly, as it defines how data should be mapped and processed for the specified remitter and layout.

  To resolve this error, you need to maintain the cross-reference configuration in the system. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:

  Navigate to the relevant configuration area for your module (e.g., PSM or RAR).
  
  
  
  Maintain Cross-Reference:
  
  Look for the configuration settings related to remitters and layouts. This may be under a path like:
  
  SPRO -> Public Sector Management -> Revenue Accounting and Reporting -> Define Cross-Reference for Remitter and Layout.
  
  
  Here, you can create or modify the cross-reference entries.
  
  
  
  Create New Entry:
  
  If the entry does not exist, create a new entry for the remitter and layout combination.
  Ensure that you enter the correct remitter ID and layout ID as indicated in the error message.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
