• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E9057 - Proration on &1 is not necessary ?

  The SAP error message E9057 "Proration on &1 is not necessary" typically occurs in the context of financial or controlling modules, particularly when dealing with allocations or distributions of costs or revenues. This message indicates that the system has determined that proration (the process of distributing amounts proportionally) is not needed for the specified object (denoted by &1).
  Cause:
  
  No Relevant Data: The system may find that there are no relevant amounts to prorate for the specified object.
  Full Allocation: The amounts may already be fully allocated, making proration unnecessary.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the allocation or distribution process that lead to this message being triggered.
  Incorrect Parameters: The parameters or criteria set for the allocation may not require proration based on the current data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data: Review the data associated with the object in question to ensure that there are amounts that need to be prorated. If there are no amounts, then proration is indeed unnecessary.
  Review Allocation Rules: Examine the allocation or distribution rules configured in the system. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that proration is required based on the business logic.
  Adjust Parameters: If the parameters for the allocation process are incorrect, adjust them to ensure that proration is necessary when it should be.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the allocation process and proration requirements.
  Testing: If changes are made, conduct tests to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the allocation behaves as expected.
  
  Related Information:
