• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C2397 - Costing Sheet &1 is not for Event-Based Posting ?

  The SAP error message C2397, which states "Costing Sheet &1 is not for Event-Based Posting," typically occurs in the context of product costing and cost management within SAP. This error indicates that the costing sheet you are trying to use is not configured to support event-based postings, which are often used in scenarios like production orders or internal orders.
  Cause:
  
  Costing Sheet Configuration: The costing sheet specified in the error message is not set up for event-based postings. This can happen if the costing sheet is intended for standard costing or other types of costing that do not support event-based postings.
  Incorrect Assignment: The costing sheet may be incorrectly assigned to the material or order type that requires event-based postings.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data configuration for the material or order type that is being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Costing Sheet Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for costing sheets in SAP (Transaction code: OKEQ).
  Verify that the costing sheet is set up to allow event-based postings. You may need to create or modify a costing sheet that supports this functionality.
  
  
  
  Assign the Correct Costing Sheet:
  
  Ensure that the correct costing sheet is assigned to the relevant material or order type. This can be done in the material master (Transaction code: MM02) or in the order type configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the material or order type to ensure that all necessary settings are correctly configured. This includes checking the valuation class, costing variant, and other related settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on configuring costing sheets and event-based postings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the event-based postings work as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Costing Variants: These are used to define how costs are calculated and can be linked to costing sheets. Ensure that the costing variant used supports event-based postings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration.
