How To Fix GA749 - Cycle &1, start date &2, does not include any senders.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GA - Allocations

• Message number: 749

• Message text: Cycle &1, start date &2, does not include any senders.

What causes this issue?

No senders were found for cycle &V1&, starting date &V2&.

System Response

It is no longer possible to create receivers and assign senders for the
segment.

How to fix this error?

Check the definition of the cycle in the maintenance transaction for
&V3&. No valid sender cost centers could be found to match your
selection.
If you use the sender rules "Posted amounts" or "Posted quantities",
check whether records exist in the database for the criteria you
entered (cost element, version...)
During indirect activity allocation with the sender rule "posted
quantities", you should also note that only the difference between the
planned/posted activity allocation and the scheduled activity quantity
is allocated. If you entered activity types as sender, you should at
this point also check the activity type category. For those quantities
posted with an activity type of category 1 (manual entry, manual
allocation) no indirect activity allocation is possible.
If this is an allocation in the FI/FI-SL area, the problem could also
be due to the inheritance logic for FI-SL totals tables, whose
"Inheritance of sender based on the receiver" indicator is activated in
the "Partner object update" view (T811U-INHERSRC). These are tables
that were installed before Release 4.6A.
Use transaction GCA8 to check this, and see the section on:
<DS:TX.FI_GLX_GA_INHERIT>Inheritance Logic for Allocations</>
then correct the affected cycle, if required.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GA749 - Cycle &1, start date &2, does not include any senders. ?

  The SAP error message GA749 indicates that there is an issue with a cycle in the context of a planning or budgeting process, specifically that the cycle defined does not have any senders assigned to it. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in SAP Controlling (CO) or SAP Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Sender Assignment: The cycle you are trying to execute or analyze does not have any sender objects (like cost centers, internal orders, etc.) assigned to it. This means that there are no data sources from which the cycle can pull information.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the cycle may not have been completed correctly, leading to the absence of sender assignments.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been an oversight during the setup process where senders were not properly defined or linked to the cycle.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Cycle Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the cycle in question. Ensure that the cycle is correctly defined and that sender objects are assigned.
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., KSV5 for cycles in CO) and reviewing the settings.
  
  
  
  Assign Senders:
  
  If no senders are assigned, you will need to add them. This typically involves specifying the relevant cost centers, internal orders, or other sender objects that should be included in the cycle.
  Make sure to save your changes after assigning the senders.
  
  
  
  Validate Data:
  
  After making changes, validate the data to ensure that the cycle can now process correctly with the assigned senders.
  You can run a test or simulation to confirm that the cycle works as expected.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration steps, refer to SAP documentation or help resources specific to your version of SAP. This can provide guidance on how to properly set up cycles and assign senders.
  
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the configuration and assigning senders, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KSV5 (for cycles) and KSV1 (for creating cycles).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the GA749 error and ensure that your cycle is properly configured with the necessary sender assignments.
