• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_CAT015 - Sum net amount distributed items &1 not euqal to main item &2: &3 ?

  The SAP error message:
  WRMA_CAT015 Sum net amount distributed items &1 not equal to main item &2: &3
  typically occurs in the context of Return Delivery Processing or Credit Memo Processing in SAP, especially when dealing with returns management or credit memo requests.
  
  Meaning / Cause
  
  The error indicates that the sum of the net amounts of the distributed (sub) items does not match the net amount of the main item.
  In other words, when you have a main item and several distributed items (e.g., in a return delivery or credit memo), the system expects the total net amount of all distributed items to be exactly equal to the net amount of the main item.
  If there is a mismatch, the system throws this error to prevent inconsistencies in financial postings or document processing.
  
  Common causes:
  
  Manual changes or rounding differences in the amounts of distributed items.
  Incorrect or incomplete distribution of amounts among sub-items.
  Currency or decimal rounding issues.
  Data inconsistencies due to custom enhancements or user exits.
  Incorrect copying or referencing of amounts during document creation.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix
  
  
  Check the amounts of the main item and distributed items:
  
  Go to the document (e.g., return delivery, credit memo request).
  Verify the net amount of the main item.
  Sum the net amounts of all distributed items.
  Confirm if they match exactly.
  
  
  
  Adjust the distributed items:
  
  If the sum of distributed items is less or more than the main item, adjust the amounts accordingly.
  Make sure the total distributed amount equals the main item amount.
  
  
  
  Check for rounding issues:
  
  Sometimes rounding differences cause this error.
  Adjust the amounts to avoid rounding discrepancies.
  Check currency settings and decimal places.
  
  
  
  Review custom code or user exits:
  
  If you have custom enhancements in returns management or credit memo processing, verify that they do not cause inconsistencies.
  Debug or analyze the code if necessary.
  
  
  
  Recreate the document if necessary:
  
  If the document is corrupted or inconsistent, consider recreating it properly.
