• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CACS_SE400 - Wild card * is not allowed for settlement type ?

  The SAP error message CACS_SE400, which states "Wild card  is not allowed for settlement type," typically occurs in the context of settlement types in SAP Convergent Charging (SAP CACS). This error indicates that a wildcard character () has been used in a field where it is not permitted, specifically in the settlement type field.
  Cause:
  
  Improper Input: The most common cause of this error is the use of a wildcard character (*) in the settlement type field when defining or configuring a settlement process. Wildcards are often used in search queries or filters, but in this case, they are not allowed.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the settlement type settings or in the way the settlement types are being referenced in a transaction or report.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Values: Review the input values in the transaction or configuration where the error occurred. Ensure that the settlement type is specified correctly without using any wildcard characters.
  Correct Configuration: If you are configuring settlement types, ensure that each settlement type is explicitly defined without using wildcards. You may need to refer to the documentation or configuration guides for SAP CACS to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
  Validation: If you are using a program or report that allows for dynamic input, ensure that the logic does not inadvertently append a wildcard to the settlement type. Modify the logic to prevent this from happening.
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the transaction or configuration again to ensure that the error is resolved.
