SAP Note 23147 - Settlement: several errors w/ settlement by cost element

Symptom:

The following symptoms can occur:

• The settlement of a sender is carried out by cost element.

• When you settle the cost of sales of a sales order, WBS element or internal order, the system generates error message KI344
  'Do not use cost element & for &'
  The specified cost element has the category '31'.

• When you settle a sender to a G/L account or asset, the system generates error message F5507
  'G/L account & is not defined in chart of accounts &'
  The specified G/L account is a secondary cost element.

Cause and prerequisites

The problem is due to the following:

1. The settlement parameters lack the settlement profile and the settlement schema (refer to Note 324885).

2. The settlement profile lacks the settlement schema.

3. You have selected the settlement by cost element option for the settlement schema entered in the settlement parameters.

In all cases specified above, the settlement is carried out to the receiver by cost element.

Solution

1. Call up the settlement rule of the sender and branch to the settlement parameters. Check whether settlement profile and settlement schema have been entered; if not, add them.

2. Check whether you have defined a settlement cost element in the settlement schema for the settlement to G/L account or asset or for the settlement of cost of sales. A settlement by cost element is not allowed in this case.
