GK522 - Details

• The SAP error message GK522 indicates that there is a mismatch in the document type configuration when trying to perform a breakdown of differences in a financial document. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with cost accounting and internal orders.
  
  Cause:
  The error message GK522 arises when the system attempts to execute a method that is not compatible with the specified document type. Specifically, the method being used to break down differences (e.g., for variance analysis) is not supported for the document type indicated by &2. This can happen due to:
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The document type may not be set up to allow breakdowns or may not have the necessary settings enabled.
  Incompatible Document Types: The document type being used may not support the specific method of breakdown that is being attempted.
  Missing Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the breakdown
