Reverse a settled contract with out of date product configuration

[Former Member]

While trying to execute TPM_Initialize to initialize a new posting valuation area one of my old test contracts in our development environment threw an error. Since this contract was created with a product type we do not use and never will use in our production environment I attempted to reverse the contract from its settled state using FTR_edit. The contract then threw another error, 'Recording Position Management: Error during distribution 0100 237'. Please note that 237 is the contract/transaction number. I am guessing that some piece of config. for that product type has been changed.

I looked through the product type and position management configuration and did not notice anything that would cause this error. Is there a report/program that can be used to delete contracts like this from a develop environment? I would hope there is something similar to the report used to delete valuation area data for development environments. Any ideas on a way to cleanse this contract or config. to change?

Thanks!

Hi,

For your info, Parallel Valuation Area can be activated for product types with zero position. System will not allow to activate parallel Valuation if position exists for a single transaction itself.

To solve your problem, either initialize TPM_INITIALIZE with a date where no open positions exists in system or reverse the open position transaction and initialize again.

Hi Prasad, thanks for your comments. I'm trying to reverse the transaction that is causing errors, however, I believe the configuration for that product type has been changed since it was only used for this one transaction in our development environment. When I attempt to reverse the transaction it gives me an error. Any ideas what to do next? Thanks!

hi,

If you want to reverse the transaction, firstly restore basic configuration required for the product.

As a easy solution to your requirement, please do the following change customization in spro:

Add your product type in "Exclude Product Types for Parallel Valuation Area and initialize your TPM_INITIALIZE. System will ignore your obsolete transaction.
