• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >0636 - Entries with the statistics key R or S are not supported ?

  The SAP error message "0636 Entries with the statistics key R or S are not supported" typically occurs in the context of SAP Controlling (CO) when you are trying to post or process data related to cost centers, internal orders, or other controlling objects that use statistical key figures. The error indicates that the system does not support certain operations for statistical key figures that are designated with the keys 'R' (for revenue) or 'S' (for statistical).
  Cause:
  
  Statistical Key Figures: The error arises because the system is trying to process entries that are associated with statistical key figures that are not allowed for certain operations. Statistical key figures are used for allocation purposes but cannot be used in certain contexts where actual costs or revenues are expected.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the controlling area or the way statistical key figures are set up.
  Posting Logic: The logic in the posting or allocation process may be attempting to use statistical key figures in a way that is not supported by the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Posting Logic: Check the transaction or process that is generating the error. Ensure that you are not trying to post or allocate costs using statistical key figures where actual figures are required.
  Use Appropriate Key Figures: If you need to perform a posting, ensure that you are using the correct key figures (actual costs or revenues) instead of statistical ones.
  Configuration Check: Review the configuration settings in the controlling area to ensure that statistical key figures are set up correctly and that they are being used appropriately in your processes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on the use of statistical key figures in your version of SAP.
  Error Handling: If the error persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert to analyze the specific scenario and provide tailored solutions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Statistical Key Figures: These are used in SAP for various purposes, including allocations and assessments, but they do not represent actual costs or revenues.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context or solutions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP CO, such as KSB1 (Cost Centers: Actual Line Items) or KSU5 (Statistical Key Figures) to analyze the data and configuration.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
