Message type: E = Error
Message class: VFRR - SD revenue recognition
Message number: 041
Message text: Source &1 &2 and target &3 &4 have different revenue recog. categories
The source is a time-related revenue recognition item but the target is
a service-related revenue recognition item. In time-related revenue
recognition, the system uses the source item to determine the revenues
to be recognized. The determining factors are the value and defined
periods for this item. All the other items do not influcence the
revenue recognition process.
This message is for information purposes only. During revenue
recognition, both items are processed completely separately from each
other.
Check your copying control settings in Customizing for the target to
source document. Ensure that the required revenue recognition process
works correctly for both items. In other words:
Are the document types and item categories correctly maintained?
Have the correct revenue recognition categories been assigned to the
correct item categories?

SAP Error Message:
VFRR041 Source &1 &2 and target &3 &4 have different revenue recog. categories
Meaning / Cause:
This error occurs during revenue recognition processing in SAP, specifically when you are trying to perform a revenue recognition run or posting, and the system detects that the source and target items involved have different revenue recognition categories.
Revenue recognition categories define how revenue is recognized for a particular item or contract line. If the source and target items have different revenue recognition categories, SAP cannot process the revenue recognition because it expects consistency in the revenue recognition method between related documents/items.

Ensure Consistency:
Adjust Master Data or Document Data:
