  WS203: Settlement document category & not same & of settlement doc. type &

  Incorrect configuration of settlement document types.
  Customizing inconsistencies between settlement document types and their assigned document categories.
  Data inconsistencies or errors in the settlement document itself.
  Attempting to settle a document with a settlement document type that does not correspond to the document category of the original document.
