How To Fix REITDS006 - Distribution status was changed successfully, no posting needed

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: REITDS - Messages for Input Tax Distribution

• Message number: 006

• Message text: Distribution status was changed successfully, no posting needed

What causes this issue?

The status of an input tax distribution item was changed successfully.
However, it was not necessary to post a distribution document or
reversal document.
Input Tax Distribution
This kind of status change without a document posting could be necessary
in the following cases (for example):
There is a line item, for which only a preliminary distribution was
made, but you now make final distribution without the option rate having
changed.
A line item with an option rate of 100% is distributed (either
preliminary or final distribution). In that case, no posting is
necessary.
Reversing Input Tax Distribution
This kind of status change without a document posting could be necessary
in the following cases (for example):
There is a line item, for which preliminary distribution was made, and
final distribution is made without the option rate having changed. Then
two steps are required. In the first step, you reverse the final
distribution (status change only). In the second step, you reverse the
preliminary distribution (status change and posting of reversal
document).
If a line item with an option rate of 100% was distributed, you can
reverse the distribution only if the status is also reset successfully.
This means that the reversal must be executed in an update run, even if
no reversal document is posted when you do so.

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