SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VVSCMASTERDATA -

• Message number: 035

• Message text: Setting payment plan change not permitted

What causes this issue?

You have attempted to set payment plan key &V1& for insurance
relationship &V4& for event &V2& &V3&. This is not permitted because:
An individual agreement is defined for at least one of the payment plan
keys that you want to switch between.
The behavior for amount changes is different for the payment plan keys
that you want to switch between.
Note:
The change to the valid-from date (PP_FROM) or the valid-from time
(PP_FROM_TIME) for a payment plan change also leads to a new payment
plan history entry and is processed like a payment plan change.
This means that you are not permitted to make changes to these two
fields if individual distribution exists.
