Processing errors
You can carry out a check run with sample report
RVAFSS00
to display faulty records in the sequential file before final billing. All errors are displayed in an error log. After correcting the faulty records in the sequential file, you must restart the billing procedure. The system ignores records which have already been billed and creates billing documents for records which have been corrected. Optionally, a list of new billing documents is presented with the error log.
