• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BK236 - The real estate object belongs to controlling area &1 and not &2 ?

  The SAP error message BK236 indicates that there is a mismatch between the controlling area of a real estate object and the controlling area specified in the transaction you are trying to execute. This typically occurs in the context of real estate management (RE) and controlling (CO) modules in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to perform an action (such as posting a transaction) on a real estate object that is assigned to a different controlling area than the one you are currently working with. Each real estate object is linked to a specific controlling area, and if the controlling area in your transaction does not match the one assigned to the real estate object, SAP will raise this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Controlling Area of the Real Estate Object:
  
  Use transaction code REOR or RE80 to display the details of the real estate object in question.
  Verify the controlling area assigned to the real estate object.
  
  
  
  Verify the Controlling Area in Your Transaction:
  
  Check the controlling area you are using in your current transaction. This can usually be found in the header or initial screen of the transaction.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Controlling Area:
  
  If you are working in the wrong controlling area, switch to the correct one that matches the real estate object.
  If necessary, you may need to change the controlling area of the real estate object, but this should be done with caution and typically requires administrative privileges.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you are unsure about changing the controlling area or if the issue persists, consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant who specializes in the RE and CO modules.
