• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RESRTM065 - Changes in sales rule &1 despite existing settlements ?

  The SAP error message RESRTM065 indicates that there are changes being attempted on a sales rule (or settlement rule) that cannot be processed because there are existing settlements associated with that rule.

  Cause:
