WRMA_CAT016 - Details

• The SAP error message:
  WRMA_CAT016 Sum tax amount distributed items &1 not equal to main item &2: &3
  typically occurs in the context of tax calculation and distribution in SAP, especially during invoice verification, credit/debit memo processing, or tax distribution in financial documents.
  
  Meaning of the Error
  
  
  
  Cause:
  The sum of the tax amounts on the distributed (sub) items does not match the tax amount on the main item. In other words, when tax amounts are split or distributed across multiple items or cost centers, the total tax amount calculated on these distributed items differs from the tax amount on the original (main) item.
  
  
  Parameters:  
  
  &1 = Number of distributed items  
  &2 = Main item number  
  &3 = The tax amount difference or discrepancy value
  
  
  
  
  Common Causes
  
  
  Rounding Differences:
  When tax amounts are distributed across multiple items, rounding differences can cause the sum of distributed tax amounts to differ slightly from the main item tax amount.
