This error indicates that the system requires a statistical key figure to be entered for all line items in a particular transaction, such as a journal entry or a cost allocation.

  Missing Statistical Key Figure: The most common cause of this error is that one or more line items in your transaction do not have a statistical key figure assigned. Statistical key figures are used in SAP to allocate costs or revenues based on certain criteria, and they must be provided for all relevant line items.

  Solution:
  
  
  Enter Statistical Key Figures: Review the line items in your transaction and ensure that a statistical key figure is entered for each line. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., FB50 for general ledger postings).
  Checking each line item and entering a valid statistical key figure in the designated field.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you believe that statistical key figures should not be mandatory for your transaction, you may need to review the configuration settings in the SAP system. This may involve:

  Adjusting the settings if necessary to make them optional for certain transactions.
  
  
  
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users are trained on the importance of statistical key figures and how to enter them correctly. Providing documentation or guidelines can help reduce the occurrence of this error.
