How To Fix BK156 - Enter non-statistical, revenue-carrying objects.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BK - Create, Display, Reverse Controlling Document

• Message number: 156

• Message text: Enter non-statistical, revenue-carrying objects.

What causes this issue?

You want to post revenues from one cost center to another.

System Response

Cost centers record revenues as statistical; real statistical postings
are not allowed.
Since cost-accounting-based profitability analysis is active, internal
derivation of a reconciliation object is no longer sufficient for
identifying postings for costing-based profitability analysis.

How to fix this error?

On both the sender and receiver sides, enter an object that may record
real revenues.
To simulate a statistical posting, you can enter the same object on
both sender and receiver sides in addition to the cost centers.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BK156 - Enter non-statistical, revenue-carrying objects. ?

  The SAP error message BK156 ("Enter non-statistical, revenue-carrying objects") typically occurs in the context of financial postings, particularly when dealing with cost centers, internal orders, or other financial objects in SAP. This error indicates that the system expects a non-statistical object that can carry revenue, but the entered object does not meet this requirement.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Object Type: The object you are trying to use (e.g., cost center, internal order) is set up as a statistical object, which means it does not carry actual revenues or costs.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of the object in the system may not allow it to be used for revenue postings.
  Posting Type: The type of posting you are attempting may not be compatible with the object you are using.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Type: Verify that the object you are trying to post to is indeed a non-statistical, revenue-carrying object. You can do this by checking the configuration of the object in the SAP system.
  
  For cost centers, check the settings in the Cost Center Master Data.
  For internal orders, check the settings in the Internal Order Master Data.
  
  
  
  Change Object Configuration: If the object is incorrectly set as statistical, you may need to change its configuration to allow for revenue postings. This typically requires access to the configuration settings in SAP (transaction codes like OKEQ for cost centers or KO02 for internal orders).
  
  
  Use Correct Object: If the object cannot be changed to a revenue-carrying object, you will need to select a different object that meets the criteria for your posting.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to ensure that you are using the correct objects for your financial postings.
