  SAP Error Message: WS160 - Different net values at supplier and customer level
  
  
  Cause:
  The error WS160 occurs during the invoice verification or goods receipt/invoice receipt (GR/IR) clearing process when there is a mismatch between the net values recorded at the supplier level and the customer level for a particular transaction.
  More specifically:
  
  The system compares the net amount (net value) of the invoice or credit memo at the supplier side (vendor invoice) with the net amount at the customer side (customer invoice or related document).
  If these net values differ, the system raises the WS160 error to prevent posting inconsistent financial data.
  This situation often arises in scenarios involving third-party processing, consignment, or subcontracting where both supplier and customer transactions are linked.
  It can also happen if there are rounding differences, currency conversion issues, or incorrect data
