Consistency Check
The consistency check enables you to check the accuracy of your data and localize possible sources of error. The system checks to ensure that all data relating to an article, bill of material, and packaging exists and complies with the settings defined in Customizing, and to determine whether this data can be settled.
From the results list, you can branch to a detailed display. For each article version, packaging version, or packaging group, the system lists all recycling partners. It also shows whether the existing data can be settled or whether a correction is required. To facilitate the analysis of the data and any errors, the system also provides information about correcting the problem.
Prerequisites
In Customizing, you have defined the settings for issuing the consistency check under
Billing
Recycling Administration
General Control
Define Consistency Check and Log File for Declaration
.The data for which you want to check the consistency is already saved. The system does not check data from test runs.
Consistency is checked depending on the period. Make sure that the periods of the assignment versions for packaging, recycling partners, and dependent price lists to be checked are identical.
Features
The system can carry out the check for all recycling partners of an article or packaging, or restrict the check to individual recycling partners. The result is displayed as a traffic-light icon.
The following consistency checks exist:
Collective and individual checks for articles
Collective and individual checks for packaging
With a collective consistency check, you can check multiple articles and packaging at once, and if required, in relation to a recycling partner. From the list of selected articles and packaging, you can branch from each line to the respective individual consistency check, which lists all declarations in detail (for example, Price information for int. fract. X: incomplete
).
You run the collective consistency check for packaging from the SAP Easy Access menu for Sales and Distribution by choosing Billing

Example
You sell the article milk and settle this with recycling partner DSD
. There are two price lists for this article:
Price list version 1: valid from November 14, 2005 through December 31, 2005
Price list version 2: valid from January 1, 2006 through November 13, 2006
The consistency check returns a positive result (green traffic light) for price list version 1 of the article milk
, but not for price list version 2 (red traffic light). The system also informs you that the corresponding price list for this period has not been created in full for the associated recycling partner. You can now switch to the price list (transaction J7LP) and make the required changes. The system has optimally indicated all sources of error and enables you to find the error more easily.
