  The SAP error message EEDMSET079 indicates that there is a mismatch in the settlement views of two settlement units in a settlement process. This typically occurs when you are trying to settle costs or revenues between different cost objects or internal orders that have been configured with different settlement views.
  Cause:
  
  Different Settlement Views: The primary cause of this error is that the two settlement units (e.g., internal orders, cost centers, or projects) have been set up with different settlement views. Each settlement unit can have its own configuration regarding how costs are settled, and if they do not match, the system will throw this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the configuration of the settlement profiles or the assignment of the settlement rules.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the creation or modification of the settlement units can lead to this issue.

  Check Settlement Views: Review the settlement views of both settlement units involved in the error. Ensure that they are configured to use the same settlement view. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP.
  Adjust Configuration: If the settlement views are indeed different, you may need to adjust the configuration of one of the settlement units to match the other. This may involve changing the settlement profile or the assignment of the settlement rules.
  Recreate Settlement Units: If the configuration is too complex or if there are many inconsistencies, it might be easier to recreate one of the settlement units with the correct settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed steps on how to check and modify settlement views and profiles.
  Testing: After making changes, perform a test settlement to ensure that the error has been resolved.
