Quantity and value of the item must have the same +/- sign
Help Document

Diagnosis

The IDoc item has different plus/minus signs for the quantity and value displayed.

Quantity:   

Value:   

An IDoc that does not identify a unique plus/minus sign at item level, is not processed further.

System Response

The verification check ends with this message. Changes can no longer be executed online as this is an example of quantity and value fields.

Procedure

Ensure that quantities and values of an item always have the same plus/minus sign in the EDI subsystem (converter).

These are primarily examples of IDoc fields.

  • E1EDP01-MENGE (item quantity) and
  • E1EDP26-BETRG (net value of item).

For other value or amount fields, such as conditions or taxes, the plus/minus sign should also be adjusted. These fields are not used directly in the processing step, however they are used in the monitor for display.

Item quantity and item net value are used directly in processing with the plus/minus sign provided by the EDI subsystem (converter).
