• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EK330 - Manual posting not permitted (CC &1, division &2, MTran. &3, STran. &4) ?

  The SAP error message EK330, which states "Manual posting not permitted (CC &1, division &2, MTran. &3, STran. &4)," typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and financial accounting (FI) when there is an attempt to manually post to a cost center or internal order that is not configured to allow manual postings.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Settings: The cost center or internal order may be configured to disallow manual postings. This is often set in the controlling area settings or in the master data of the cost center or internal order.
  Posting Type Restrictions: Certain posting types may be restricted for manual entries, especially if they are meant to be controlled through specific processes or automated postings.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform manual postings to the specified cost center or internal order.
  Period Lock: The posting period may be closed, preventing any manual postings from being made.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the cost center or internal order in the controlling area. Ensure that the settings allow for manual postings.
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration in SPRO (SAP Reference IMG) under Controlling > Cost Center Accounting > Master Data > Cost Center > Define Cost Center.
  Check the settings for the cost center and ensure that the "Manual postings allowed" option is enabled.
  
  
  
  Review Posting Type: Ensure that the posting type you are trying to use is allowed for manual postings. If necessary, adjust the settings to permit manual postings.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the appropriate authorizations to post to the specified cost center or internal order. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
