• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KD105 - Enter a maximum of two receivers per rule ?

  The SAP error message KD105 ("Enter a maximum of two receivers per rule") typically occurs in the context of controlling and cost allocation in SAP, particularly when working with internal orders, cost centers, or profit centers. This error indicates that the system has a limitation on the number of receivers that can be assigned to a particular allocation rule.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to assign more than two receivers to a single allocation rule in the SAP system.

  Consolidate Receivers: If applicable, consolidate the cost objects into fewer receivers if it makes sense for your business process.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you believe that your business process requires more than two receivers, you may need to review the configuration settings in the SAP system. However, this may require consulting with your SAP Basis or configuration team, as it could involve changes to standard SAP behavior.
