• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKRD101 - Main transaction not allowed to be generic if subtrans. is specific ?

  The SAP error message FKKRD101 indicates that there is an issue with the transaction type configuration in the SAP system, specifically in the context of contract accounts receivable and payable (FI-CA). This error occurs when a main transaction is defined as generic while a subtransaction is defined as specific, which is not allowed in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Transaction Type Configuration: In SAP, transaction types are used to categorize financial transactions. A main transaction can be generic (applicable to multiple subtransactions) or specific (applicable to a particular subtransaction). The error arises when there is a mismatch in the configuration where a generic main transaction is linked to a specific subtransaction.
  Inconsistent Settings: The settings in the configuration for the main transaction and subtransaction are inconsistent, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you need to ensure that the configuration of the main transaction and subtransaction is consistent. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check Transaction Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBTE (for transaction type configuration).
  Review the settings for the main transaction and the associated subtransactions.
  Ensure that if the main transaction is set as generic, all linked subtransactions must also be generic.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you find that the main transaction is set as generic, you may need to change the subtransaction to be generic as well.
  Alternatively, if the subtransaction needs to remain specific, you should change the main transaction to be specific.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant for detailed guidance on transaction type configuration.
