• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message K/702 - CAUTION: no more delta postings allowed after changed to characteristics ?

  The SAP error message K/702 "CAUTION: no more delta postings allowed after changed to characteristics" typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and is related to the use of characteristics in the context of cost center accounting or internal orders. This error indicates that there has been a change in the characteristics of a cost object (like a cost center or internal order) that prevents further delta postings.
  Cause:
  
  Change in Characteristics: The error is triggered when there has been a modification to the characteristics of a cost object after delta postings have already been made. This could include changes to the cost center's structure, such as changing the controlling area, or modifying the attributes of the cost object.
  Posting Period: The error may also arise if the posting period is closed or if the system settings do not allow for further postings due to the changes made.
  Data Consistency: SAP enforces data consistency, and if the characteristics of a cost object are altered, it may lead to inconsistencies in the postings that have already been made.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Changes: Check the changes made to the characteristics of the cost object. If the changes are not necessary, consider reverting them if possible.
  Postings in Open Period: Ensure that you are trying to post in an open period. If the period is closed, you may need to open it again or post in a different period.
  Use of New Cost Object: If the characteristics have changed significantly, it may be necessary to create a new cost object with the desired characteristics and start posting to that new object instead.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on handling changes to characteristics and the implications for delta postings.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like KSB1 (for cost center reports) or KOB1 (for internal order reports) to analyze the postings and understand the context of the error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling changes to characteristics.
  Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings in the controlling area to ensure that they align with your business processes and allow for the necessary postings.
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to make changes to cost objects and to post to them.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a consultant who specializes in SAP CO to further investigate the root cause and find a resolution.
