Symptom
When running Settlement, error "Settlement amount has an incorrect +/- sign" is triggered.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
As explained in the long text, you are trying to settle an amount of X using an amount rule, but the original amount (receiver) has a different sign. This is not allowed.
Resolution
Check the amount rule in Settlement Rule and verify the available amount in the receiver in apps like "Display Line Items". The sign should be the same (+/-).
