  • What causes this issue?

    The distribution rule could not be created automatically. When a
    production order is created the system tries to create a distribution
    rule automatically. If this is not possible there may be several
    explanations, for example:
    the settlement profile for your order type does not permit the
    recipient for whom a distribution rule is to be automatically created
    several recipients are entered as compulsory recipients for the
    settlement profile
    the material that is producted is not valuated. Therefore the system
    cannot generate a distribution rule with the recipient material.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    You should check which of the above reasons is true and change the
    settlement profile if necessary. If an order is to be created for a
    material without evaluation then the distribution rule must be
    maintained manually.

    Error Message: Distribution rule could not be created automatically


    Summary

    This error indicates that the system failed to automatically generate a distribution rule for cost allocation during a production order or process order settlement. Essentially, SAP could not determine how to distribute costs to the correct receivers based on the existing configuration or master data.


    Root Causes

    • Missing or incomplete settlement profile configuration in the order type or controlling area.
    • Absence of valid receiver assignments (e.g., cost centers, internal orders, WBS elements) in the settlement rule.
    • Incorrect or missing distribution key or settlement rule in the master data of the production/process order.
    • Inconsistent or incomplete master data for cost objects involved in the settlement process.
