  • “ZS01” is used for recurrent allocations.

Include the control key in the layout in order to validate the settlement control key.


3.8. I correct the settlement key control of the network, if any error is detected

If there is any project with the control key ZS01, proceed to the correction in the network using transaction CJ20N.
