settlement rules.

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

Therefore, the field for the number of rules in the group box "Other
parameters" should not remain empty or contain a zero if mandatory or
optional settlement of the actual costs or cost-of-sales is planned.

How to fix this error?

Enter a suitable number of distribution rules in the "Number of rules"
field
or
Set the actual costs / cost-of-sales to "Not for settlement".
