• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 7A402 - You cannot maintain a CO vers. for version &1 (prog. val.-basis="budget") ?

  The SAP error message 7A402 indicates that you are trying to maintain a Controlling (CO) version for a specific version (denoted as &1) where the program value basis is set to "budget." This typically occurs in the context of budget management within SAP's Controlling module.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are attempting to make changes to a CO version that is not allowed for the specified version type (in this case, a budget version).

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Version Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for CO versions in SAP (Transaction code: OKKN).
  Verify the settings for the version you are trying to maintain. Ensure that it is not set as a budget version if you intend to make changes.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Version:

  Review Authorization:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the CO version. Lack of proper authorization can sometimes lead to similar error messages.
