• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message K/070 - Inconsistency: rule is not time-dependent but contains time-dep. entries ?

  The SAP error message K/070 indicates an inconsistency in the configuration of a cost allocation rule in the Controlling (CO) module. Specifically, it means that the rule is defined as not being time-dependent, yet it contains entries that are time-dependent. This inconsistency can lead to issues in cost allocation processes.
  Cause:
  
  Rule Configuration: The cost allocation rule has been set up as a non-time-dependent rule, but it has been assigned entries that are time-dependent. This can happen if the rule was initially created without considering the time dependency or if entries were added later that are time-dependent.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been mistakes during data entry or configuration changes that led to this inconsistency.
  System Upgrades or Changes: Changes in system settings or upgrades might have affected the configuration of the rules.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the K/070 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Review the Rule Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration of the cost allocation rule in the SAP system.
  Check if the rule is indeed set as non-time-dependent. If it is, you need to either change the rule to be time-dependent or remove the time-dependent entries.
  
  
  
  Modify the Entries:
  
  If the rule should remain non-time-dependent, you will need to identify and remove any time-dependent entries associated with that rule.
  If the rule should be time-dependent, change the configuration of the rule to reflect that.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the cost allocation process to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document the changes made for future reference and to help prevent similar issues.
