How To Fix KD089 - Receiver profitability segment does not match sender master record

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KD - CO Settlement

• Message number: 089

• Message text: Receiver profitability segment does not match sender master record

What causes this issue?

The <DS:GLOS.settlement_rule>settlement rule</> contains an account
assignment to a <DS:GLOS.profitability_segment>profitability segment</>
whose characteristics do not match the values in the sender master
record.
This message appears if each of the following preconditions is met:
The object you are currently processing has already been settled to the
operating result. This means that you cannot change the corresponding
<DS:GLOS.distribution_rule>distribution rule</> (except for its period
of validity).
The rule applies in the current period. A settlement in the current
period would use this rule.
You changed a field in the sender master record: the field is to be
transferred automatically to a matching characteristic field from the
assigned profitability segment. An example of where this is the case
is if you change the plan in the internal order.
The change in the master data field would cause the system to
redetermin the profitability segment assigned to in the distribution
rule. This is not possible because the rule has already been used.

System Response

The system issues a warning message because incorrect account
assignments may arise in profitability analysis.

How to fix this error?

Check that the values in the characteristic fields in the settlement
rule are correct. If they are, you can ignore the warning. If they
are incorrect, you have the following options:
Maintain the "to" fields in the distribution rule. You can then enter
a new rule for future settlements to the operating result. The correct
values are automatically taken from the sender master record and
entered in the characteristic fields.
If you cancel the settlement for all periods in which the distribution
rule was used, you only need to go into settlement rule maintenance so
that the system can determine a new profitability segment.
