How To Fix GA710 - No valid sender entries were found.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GA - Allocations

• Message number: 710

• Message text: No valid sender entries were found.

What causes this issue?

The system did not find a valid sender for cycle &V1&, segment &V2&. The
problem can be due to the following reasons:
Master data checking for cycle &V1&, segment &V2&, found no valid
senders for this segment.
The senders are valid from a master data standpoint, but the system
found no posted values or quantities in the database corresponding to
your selection criteria. The sender and the segment will be processed
only if the cycle works iteratively and at least one sender in another
segment receives values which it can then allocate iteratively.
In cycles for indirect activity allocation, this message appears if
segment &V2& is to allocate posted sender activity quantities but the
sender has been completely scheduled. Complete scheduling of posted
activity quantities occurs, for example, if you use cycle &V2& in a test
run but already used it in a current real processing run in the system.

System Response

The system cannot process the segment.

How to fix this error?

Check the definition of segment &V2& in cycle &V1&. In particular, check
the validity of the sender master data for the settlement period.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

To do so in cycle maintenance, choose "Formal check".
If segment &V2& allocates posted values or quantities, the senders in
the segment are valid only if:
The sender holds actually posted values/quantities not equal to 0
The cycle is iterative, and the sender receives values in another
segment which it can then allocate iteratively.
If necessary, you must set the iteration indicator in cycle &V1&.
In a cycle for indirect activity allocation, check whether the cycle is
currently in use for posting in the system sender in segment &V2& and
thus completely schedules the senders in segment &V2&.
If this is the case, cancel the cycle and repeat the cycle execution.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GA710 - No valid sender entries were found. ?

  The SAP error message GA710 "No valid sender entries were found" typically occurs in the context of the SAP General Ledger (G/L) accounting module, particularly when dealing with document postings or when trying to execute certain transactions that require sender-receiver relationships, such as in the context of internal orders, cost centers, or profit centers.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Sender Entries: The most common cause of this error is that there are no valid sender entries defined in the system for the specific transaction or posting you are trying to execute. This can happen if the sender (e.g., cost center, internal order) has not been properly configured or if it has been deleted or archived.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the sender-receiver relationships may not be set up correctly in the controlling area or may not match the criteria required for the transaction.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or use the sender entries.
  
  
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the master data that prevent the system from finding valid sender entries.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Sender Configuration: 
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system (e.g., transaction code OKB9 for cost centers) and ensure that the sender entries are correctly defined and active.
  Verify that the sender (cost center, internal order, etc.) exists and is valid for the period in which you are trying to post.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data: 
  
  Check the master data for the sender (e.g., cost center, internal order) to ensure it is correctly set up and not archived or deleted.
  Use transaction codes like KS03 (Display Cost Center) or KO03 (Display Internal Order) to review the details.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check: 
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the sender entries. This can be checked with the help of your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Transaction Context: 
  
  Make sure that the transaction you are trying to execute is appropriate for the sender-receiver relationship you are working with. Some transactions may require specific configurations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance related to the transaction you are working with.
  
  
  
  Contact Support: 
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
