  Add a version to the applicable agreement with a valid from date on or before the statement date.
Product agreement for statement date not found

  The product is linked to a PRODUCT agreement that has a valid from date later than the statement date.
2. How to resolve
  Change the valid from date of the current product agreement or add a new product agreement with a valid from date on or before the statement date.
Product for provider not found
1. What does this mean
  The product number exists, but the provider linked to the product number does not match the provider used for the statement.
2. How to resolve
  1. Check if the statement was imported under the correct provider. If correct, implement step 2 below.
  2. Search the product number under the Product tab, and change the provider to the statement provider.
The following Blocking reasons are only applicable if the Responsible Partner Code Match feature is enabled:
1. Partner code not found
1. What does this mean
  The provider & product number exist on Commspace, with a valid product agreement. The responsible partner code match tick is enabled on the product agreement. The system thus requires a valid partner provider code on the statement to link, but the Statement Partner Provider Code has not been loaded as a partner code under settings.
2. How to resolve
  Load the Statement Partner Provider Code as a partner code under the applicable responsible partner. Once done, relink the product. The product should now link, or reflect another blocking reason.
2. Partner code on statement is blank
1. What does this mean
  The provider & product number exists on Commspace, with a valid product agreement. The responsible partner code match tick is enabled on the product agreement. The system thus requires a valid partner provider code on the statement to link, but none was found and the partner provider code is therefore BLANK.
2. How to resolve
  1. Check statement for available fields. If Statement Partner Name / Statement Partner Provider Code is available, request support to map. If only Statement Partner Name is available, Statement Partner Provider Code must be read.
  2. If the entire statement only has ONE applicable Statement Partner Provider Code, reimport the statement and use bulk set actions on statement import.
  3. If the statement has multiple Statement Partner Provider Codes, use the bulk set action under statement items, selecting applicable product numbers and setting applicable Statement Partner Provider Code.
3. Partner code on statement item does not match agreement
1. What does this mean
  The provider & product number exists on Commspace, with a valid product agreement. The responsible partner code match tick is enabled on the product agreement. The system thus requires a valid partner provider code on the statement to link, but the Statement Partner Provider Code does not match a partner code that has been loaded under the Responsible Partner currently stipulated in the product agreement.
2. How to resolve
  Follow normal linking process. Make sure to enable the responsible partner code match tick for the new product agreement.
