WRMA_CAT102 - Details

• The SAP error message:
  WRMA_CAT102 Billing type &1: Set Distribution Active to value 1 (RMA)
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the billing type used in the Return Material Authorization (RMA) process is not correctly configured. Specifically, the billing type's distribution indicator is not set to the required value for RMA processing.
  In SAP, billing types have a field called "Distribution Active" (also known as the distribution indicator), which controls how the billing document is processed and distributed. For RMA billing types, this indicator must be set to 1 (RMA) to ensure the system treats the billing document correctly in the RMA process.
  If this field is not set to 1, the system throws this error to prevent incorrect billing processing.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the configuration of the billing type used in the RMA process:
