  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5D013 - No apportionment type ?

    The SAP error message 5D013: No apportionment type typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with cost allocation or apportionment processes. This error indicates that the system cannot find a valid apportionment type for the operation you are trying to perform.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the apportionment type has not been defined in the system. This could be due to a lack of configuration in the controlling area or the specific cost center.
    2. Incorrect Master Data: The master data for the cost centers, internal orders, or other relevant objects may not have the necessary apportionment type assigned.
    3. Transaction Context: The error may also arise if the transaction you are executing does not have the appropriate settings or parameters that reference a valid apportionment type.

    1. Check Configuration:

      • Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (SPRO).
      • Navigate to Controlling -> Cost Center Accounting -> Master Data -> Apportionment Types.
      • Ensure that the necessary apportionment types are defined and configured correctly.
    2. Review Master Data:

      • Check the master data for the relevant cost centers or internal orders to ensure that they are assigned the correct apportionment type.
      • You can do this by using transaction codes like KS03 (Display Cost Center) or KO03 (Display Internal Order).
    3. Transaction Parameters:

      • Review the parameters you are using in the transaction that triggered the error. Ensure that they are set correctly and that they reference valid apportionment types.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • If you are unsure about the configuration or the required apportionment types, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant.
    5. Testing:

      • After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to see if the error persists.
