• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 63426 - Settled events cannot be changed, only display mode possible ?

  The SAP error message "63426 Settled events cannot be changed, only display mode possible" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Project System (PS) or Controlling (CO) modules. This error indicates that you are trying to modify a settled event or transaction, which is not allowed because the event has already been settled in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Settled Status: The event or transaction you are trying to change has already been settled. Once a transaction is settled, it is considered final, and the system prevents any modifications to maintain data integrity.
  Business Process Compliance: This restriction is in place to ensure compliance with accounting and financial reporting standards, as settled transactions are often reflected in financial statements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Display Mode: If you only need to view the details of the settled event, you can switch to display mode. This will allow you to see the information without making any changes.
  Reversal of Settlement: If you need to make changes to the settled event, you may need to reverse the settlement. This process typically involves:
  
  Identifying the settled event.
  Using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., CJ08 for reversing settlements in Project System).
  Following the necessary steps to reverse the settlement, which may include reassigning costs or revenues.
  After reversing, you can make the required changes and then settle the event again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Always refer to your organization's internal documentation or SAP help resources for specific procedures related to your version of SAP and your organization's policies.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CJ20N (Project Builder), CJI3 (Project Actual Line Items), and CJ08 (Reverse Settlement).
  User Permissions: Ensure you have the necessary permissions to perform actions related to settlements and reversals.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the implications of reversing a settlement, consult with your finance or controlling team to understand the impact on financial reporting.
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Always back up relevant data before making changes to settled transactions.
  Document any changes or reversals for audit purposes.
  Train users on the implications of settling transactions to minimize the occurrence of this error in the future.
  
  By following these guidelines, you can effectively manage the error message and ensure compliance with your organization's financial processes.
