• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BK070 - You cannot have internal numbering for transaction & ?

  The SAP error message BK070 ("You cannot have internal numbering for transaction &") typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with document numbering in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system is trying to use internal numbering for a transaction type that is not configured to allow it.

  Document Numbering Settings: The settings in the configuration for document types may not allow internal numbering for the specific transaction you are trying to process.
  User Settings: The user profile or settings may not have the necessary permissions or configurations to use internal numbering for that transaction type.

  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the specific transaction type in the SAP system. This can usually be found in the SPRO transaction under Financial Accounting (FI) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Document -> Document Numbering.
  Ensure that the transaction type is set to allow internal numbering if that is the desired behavior.
