• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/CAS_MSG335 - Final settlement not permitted; provisional settlement is enforced ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/CAS_MSG335 Final settlement not permitted; provisional settlement is enforced typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with the settlement of internal orders, projects, or cost objects. This error indicates that the system is enforcing provisional settlement rules, which means that a final settlement cannot be processed at this time.
  Cause:
  
  Provisional Settlement Configuration: The system is configured to enforce provisional settlements for the specific order or project. This is often done to ensure that costs are settled periodically rather than finalized until certain conditions are met.
  Settlement Rules: The settlement rules defined for the order or project may specify that only provisional settlements are allowed until certain criteria are fulfilled.
  Status of the Order/Project: The order or project may be in a status that does not allow for final settlement. For example, it may still have open commitments or unprocessed costs.
  Period Closing: The period in which you are trying to perform the final settlement may be closed, preventing any final settlements from being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Settlement Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the order or project to determine if provisional settlement is enforced. You may need to adjust the settings if final settlements are desired.
  Review Settlement Rules: Check the settlement rules associated with the order or project. If they are set to allow only provisional settlements, you may need to modify them to permit final settlements.
  Order/Project Status: Ensure that the order or project is in a status that allows for final settlement. If there are open commitments or unprocessed costs, resolve those issues first.
  Period Management: Verify that the accounting period is open for the settlement you are trying to perform. If the period is closed, you may need to open it or wait until the next period.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling provisional and final settlements in your version of SAP.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KO88 (Order Settlement) or CJ88 (Project Settlement) to perform settlements.

  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform settlements, as restrictions may also lead to errors.
  Consult with SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if it involves complex configurations or customizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to allow for the desired settlement process.
