• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEDMSET160 - Save the changes before starting the settlement run ?

  The SAP error message EEDMSET160 ("Save the changes before starting the settlement run") typically occurs in the context of the settlement process in SAP, particularly when dealing with projects, internal orders, or other cost objects that require settlement.
  Cause:
  This error message indicates that there are unsaved changes in the transaction or document you are working on. Before you can initiate a settlement run, SAP requires that all changes be saved to ensure data integrity and consistency. If you attempt to start the settlement process without saving your changes, the system will prevent you from proceeding and display this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Save Your Changes: 
  
  Go back to the screen where you made changes and ensure that you save all modifications. Look for a "Save" button (often represented by a disk icon) or use the keyboard shortcut (usually Ctrl + S) to save your work.
  
  
  
  Check for Unsaved Data: 
  
  Review the fields or sections of the transaction to ensure that all necessary data has been entered and saved. Sometimes, there may be validation errors or required fields that need to be completed before saving.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Settlement Run: 
  
  After saving your changes, navigate back to the settlement run transaction and attempt to start the settlement process again.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations: 
  
  If you continue to experience issues, ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the settlement run. Lack of proper permissions can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior.
