This error can occur in various scenarios, such as during the execution of cost allocations, assessments, or distributions in Controlling (CO) modules.
  Cause of Error F=112
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The error may arise due to incorrect configuration of cost centers, internal orders, or secondary cost elements.
  Circular Allocation: The error can occur if there is a circular allocation where a cost center or internal order is trying to allocate costs to itself.
  Missing Master Data: If the necessary master data (like cost centers or cost elements) is not properly maintained, it can lead to this error.

  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the cost centers, internal orders, and secondary cost elements to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Avoid Circular References: Ensure that the allocation does not involve a cost center or internal order sending costs to itself. This can be checked in the allocation structure.
  Review Master Data: Verify that all necessary master data is correctly maintained and that there are no missing or incorrect entries.
  Validate Secondary Cost Elements: Ensure that the secondary cost elements being used in the allocation are valid and correctly defined in the system.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like KSU5 (for assessments) or KSV5 (for distributions) to analyze the allocation structure and identify any issues.
  Check Allocation Rules: Review the allocation rules to ensure they are correctly defined and do not lead to self-referencing.
