How To Fix VVOZINS044 - Retroactive accounting of interest calculation is required

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VVOZINS - Balance Interest Calculation for Insurance Objects

• Message number: 044

• Message text: Retroactive accounting of interest calculation is required

What causes this issue?

At least one document was posted to this insurance object, in a period
for which interest has already been calculated. The old interest
calculation therefore has to be reversed.

System Response

The balance interest calculation executes the reversal automatically,
and recalculates interest on the affected period.
Implicit interest calculation is not possible during a currency change,
or when closing a deposit contract.

How to fix this error?

If the report is output during balance interest calculation for an
insurance object, no further activities are required.
If the report occurs during a currency change, or when closing the
deposit, calculate interest on the insurance object on its own, so that
the interest history is corrected. You can then change the currency or
close the deposit.

Procedure for System Administrators

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