• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/PRC_MC118 - Total pricing aspect quantity is less than to be settled quantity ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/PRC_MC118 Total pricing aspect quantity is less than to be settled quantity typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with internal orders, projects, or cost centers. This error indicates that the total quantity that has been priced (or the total quantity that has been accounted for) is less than the quantity that is supposed to be settled.
  Cause:
  
  
  Quantity Mismatch: The total quantity that has been recorded in the pricing aspect (e.g., planned costs, actual costs) is less than the quantity that is being settled. This can happen if there are discrepancies in the data entry or if some transactions have not been accounted for correctly.
  
  
  Incomplete Data: There may be missing or incomplete data in the related documents or transactions that are supposed to contribute to the pricing aspect.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the internal order or project may not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies in how quantities are calculated and settled.
  
  
  Timing Issues: If there are transactions that have been posted after the settlement run was initiated, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Quantity Entries: Review the quantities entered in the relevant transactions. Ensure that all quantities are correctly recorded and that there are no missing entries.
  
  
  Review Settlements: Check the settlement rules and ensure that they are correctly defined. Make sure that the settlement profile is appropriate for the type of order or project.
  
  
  Recalculate Pricing Aspects: If there have been changes or corrections made to the quantities, you may need to recalculate the pricing aspects. This can often be done through the transaction codes related to the specific module (e.g., KO88 for order settlement).
  
  
  Post Missing Transactions: If there are transactions that have not been posted, ensure that they are posted before attempting to settle again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configuration settings that may need to be adjusted.
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks: Use transaction codes like KAH3 (for internal orders) or KOB1 (for order line items) to check for inconsistencies in the data.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KO88 (Order Settlement), KOB1 (Order Line Items), and KAH3 (Display Order).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the settlement and access the relevant data.
