• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F=109 - No secondary costs at all have been posted in current period ?

  The SAP error message "F=109 No secondary costs at all have been posted in current period" typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and financial accounting (FI) when trying to execute a transaction that requires secondary cost postings, but none have been recorded for the specified period.
  Cause:
  
  No Secondary Cost Postings: The primary reason for this error is that there have been no secondary cost postings (like internal activity allocations, assessments, or distributions) made in the current period for the cost center or internal order you are trying to process.
  Period Closure: The period may be closed for posting, preventing any new entries from being recorded.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the controlling module that prevent secondary cost postings from being recognized or processed.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the transaction may not match any existing postings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Postings: Verify if any secondary cost postings have been made for the relevant cost center or internal order in the current period. You can do this by checking the relevant reports in the CO module.
  Post Secondary Costs: If no postings exist, you may need to perform the necessary transactions to post secondary costs. This could involve running allocation cycles, assessments, or distributions as required.
  Review Period Status: Ensure that the period is open for posting. If it is closed, you may need to reopen it or wait until the next period.
  Configuration Review: Check the configuration settings in the controlling module to ensure that everything is set up correctly for secondary cost postings.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like KSU5 (for activity allocation), KSV5 (for assessments), or KSV1 (for distributions) to perform the necessary postings.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP CO, such as KSB1 (Cost Centers: Actual Line Items), KOB1 (Orders: Actual Line Items), and KSU5 (Activity Allocation).
  Reports: Use reports like S_ALR_87013611 (Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance) to analyze cost postings and identify any discrepancies.
