• SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Cost and Revenue work center.
2. Open the Revenue Recognition subview.
3. Choose All Revenue Recognition Runs.
4. Select a run that processed with errors and open its application log result.
5. Open the Messages tab and review the error message on affected items in the Processed with Errors tab.

• During sales document item processing, revenue recognition converts quantities to the smallest available unit of measure. If a unit (for example, units per month) is defined with a reference chain down to seconds and the computed value exceeds 2,147,483,647 seconds (integer limit), the system raises the duration-not-valid error.

1. Identify the affected sales document items that show the error in the run log.
2. Review the unit of measure used on these items in Fine Tuning > Quantities and Units of Measure > Physical Units of Measure, and verify the reference unit chain and reference quantities (for example, month → seconds).
3. Option A: Adjust the unit’s reference unit and/or reference quantity so that conversion to the smallest unit (seconds) for the expected item quantities remains below 2,147,483,647.
4. Option B: Reduce the sales document item quantity or split the item/duration so that the converted value remains within the allowed range, then save.
5. If applicable, ensure the intended unit code is maintained on the product and the sales document item so the correct unit is used during calculations.
