• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BK104 - Posting made to cost center & of the statistical order ?

  The SAP error message BK104 indicates that a posting has been made to a cost center that is associated with a statistical order. This typically occurs in the context of cost accounting (CO) when you attempt to post costs to a cost center that is linked to an order that is not intended for actual cost postings.
  Cause:
  
  Statistical Order: The order in question is a statistical order, which means it is used for tracking purposes only and does not allow for actual cost postings.
  Configuration Issues: The cost center may be incorrectly configured to allow postings to a statistical order.
  Posting Type: The type of posting being attempted (e.g., direct posting, allocation) may not be compatible with the statistical nature of the order.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Order Type: Verify if the order you are trying to post to is indeed a statistical order. If it is, you cannot post actual costs to it. You may need to use a different order type that allows actual postings.
  Change Posting Method: If you need to post costs, consider changing the posting method to one that is compatible with the order type.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the cost center and the order type in the SAP system. Ensure that they are set up correctly to allow for the intended type of postings.
  Use Alternative Cost Objects: If you need to track costs, consider using a different cost object (e.g., a real order or a different cost center) that allows for actual postings.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like KO02 (Change Order) or KOB1 (Order Line Items) to review and modify order settings.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on cost center accounting and order management.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to cost centers and orders in the SAP system.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the implications of changing order types or cost centers, consult with your finance or controlling team for guidance.
  
  By addressing the underlying cause of the error, you can resolve the issue and ensure that your postings are made to the appropriate cost objects in SAP.
