  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    You have attempted to create a budget billing plan for contract &V2&.
    This is not possible, because the value in the <LS>BB procedure</>
    (budget billing procedure) field in contract account &V1& no longer
    represents a budget billing procedure (1 or 2). It is therefore not
    possible to create a budget billing plan. You can only create a payment
    plan (procedure 3) using <DS:TRAN.EK92>Simulate Payment Schedule</>.
