• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KD010 - &: Settlement by amount not poss.; change settlement profile if necessary ?

  The SAP error message KD010, which states "Settlement by amount not possible; change settlement profile if necessary," typically occurs in the context of internal order settlement or cost object settlement in SAP. This error indicates that the system is unable to settle costs based on the specified settlement profile due to certain constraints or configurations.
  Causes of KD010 Error
  
  
  Settlement Profile Configuration: The settlement profile assigned to the order or cost object may not allow for settlement by amount. This can happen if the profile is configured to only allow settlement by percentage or if it has restrictions on the types of costs that can be settled.
  
  
  Settlement Rules: The settlement rules defined for the order may not be set up correctly. For example, if the rules specify that costs should be settled based on a percentage of the total costs, but you are trying to settle by a fixed amount, this error will occur.
  
  
  Cost Object Type: The type of cost object (e.g., internal order, project, etc.) may have specific settings that restrict the method of settlement.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Data: There may be missing or incorrect data in the order or cost object that prevents the settlement from being processed correctly.
