  The SAP error message CA_TTE_ADMIN020 indicates that a specific calculation type (denoted by &1) does not exist in the system. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with Transfer Pricing or other calculations that rely on predefined calculation types.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The calculation type you are trying to use has not been defined in the system. This could be due to a missing configuration step during the setup of the relevant module.
  Incorrect Input: The calculation type might have been entered incorrectly, either due to a typo or using an outdated or incorrect code.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system (like a development or quality assurance system), the transport might not have included the necessary configuration for the calculation type.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain configuration settings, leading to the perception that the calculation type does not exist.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area in SAP (usually under the Controlling module) and verify if the calculation type exists. You can do this by using transaction codes like OKB9 (for defining calculation types) or SPRO (to access the configuration menu).

  Verify Input: 
  
  Double-check the input for the calculation type to ensure it is correct. Look for any typos or incorrect codes.

  Authorization Check: 
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view and use the calculation type. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust authorizations if necessary.
