How To Fix RESCSP018 - SCS receivables pstg terms of AP contract &1 cond.type &2 are different

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RESCSP - Settlement Participation

• Message number: 018

• Message text: SCS receivables pstg terms of AP contract &1 cond.type &2 are different

What causes this issue?

In contract &V1&, there are several different posting terms for the
advance payment condition type &V2&. However, service charge settlement
requires one unique posting term. This situation can occur, for
instance, if the advance payment condition type is used multiple times
with a different condition purpose within the same time period. This is
the case, for example, when subsidizers are used. In such cases, the
system is not able to determine if it should post to the master tenant
or to the subsidizer.

System Response

The settlement uses the standard posting term SPACE.

How to fix this error?

If you want to use a different posting term, then assign it as the
"posting term for service charge settlement" to all affected conditions.

Procedure for System Administrators

The "posting term for service charge settlement" was not available in
earlier releases. Therefore, in those releases, the only possible
solution was an implementation of the BAdI BADI_RE_SC_CR. If you have an
implementation of this kind that specifies the posting term in cases
where the posting term is not unique, you can suppress this error
message.
