SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KD - CO Settlement

• Message number: 059

• Message text: Enter a distribution rule for & without a validity limit

What causes this issue?

The settlement profile used requires you to define a distribution rule
for &V1&. For period &V2& &V3&, however, you have not created a
distribution rule for &V1&.

How to fix this error?

Create a distribution rule for &V1& <ZH>without</> a validity limit,
because, if the distribution rule does have a validity limit, the
system always issues this message in the period following the last
valid period.
You can also use a different settlement profile that does not require
such a distribution rule, or change the settlement rule used.
