Error 'Update Was Terminated' - While clearing an open item

Question

Hi,
We are facing a problem where we receive an error - "Update Was Terminated" when we try to clear some entries for 3-4 vendors (posted in period 12 of year 2006. it happens only for those 3-4 vendors). We have identified the problem as follows:
1) We ran program SAPF190 and found that there is a defference in the 'debit balance' and Total of line items' for these vendors. I ran program SAPF71 (in Quality server) which rectified some entries. However, some entries still remain incorrect and these entries that still remain incorrect are ones - "which have a posting date of 10 oct 2006, but the posting period picked up by the document header is period 12, instead of period 7". Now, some other documents posted for the same vendor on the same date have picked up the correct posting period i.e. 7. I am really baffled at how this actually happened and howcome the system allowed it??
2) After running program SAPF190, there were some entries that got corrected (these entries were just not captured by the system in the balance field, and did not have the same problem as the entries mentioned above where the wrong posting period was picked by the system). When i tried to clear the line items for the vendors whose entries had been rectified, it still gve the update error. When i checked the number range status, i noticed something very odd:
"The number range status shows a number much higher than what the system is automatically picking for the documents (e.g system picks 230 as the document number when posting, but the number range staus in FBN1 shows current number as 256). Also, once 256 is reached (i posted 26 documents for it) and we post the 257th document, the error remains and the status number now moves up 100 places to 356). At this time if i post another document it picks the number 258 instead of 356...and if i keep posting documents till 356 is reached, im sure when i post the 357th document, the status will jump to 456)
Can someone please help me here!! I dont understand how and why this is happening!!
Thanks!!
Regards,
Angad

Hi,
The error is "Update was terminated" . It sends this message to my inbox!! After searching a bit i found about the two reports - SAPF190 and SAPF071. After running them i found some balance mis-match. I ran the two programs and it rectified those mis-matched entries!! However, even after that, it is giving me the same "update was terminated" error. We are using F-44 for clearing.
This error is coming only for those entries which we had posted using a user-exit. Basiaclly these are entries for late payment which were programmed to be posted directly at the time of invoicing. I just checked the code of the exit, and these entries were (astonishingly) made directly into the BKPF and BSEG tables (infact the posting period was hard-coded to '12', which is why even when my posting date for these documents is 10.10.2006, it still enters posting period '12' in the header instead of '7'.). Therefore, there were balance mis-match when we saw the monthly balance in FK10N and compared it with the line items total for that month. However, on running report SAPF071, it corrected those entries, but the update error problem still persists!!
The exact error:
