How To Fix KD111 - Rules & and & contradict each other in the settlement share

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KD - CO Settlement

• Message number: 111

• Message text: Rules & and & contradict each other in the settlement share

What causes this issue?

In distribution rule &V1&, a percentage value was entered, while in
rule &V2&, there is an equivalence number. Both rules belong to the
same settlment type and overlap each other in the validity period.

System Response

The system cannot clearly determine the settlement portions for the
affected settlement rules. Note that this message is only issued when
the problem first occurs. You should therefore check all distribution
rules and not just the rules &V1& and &V2&.

How to fix this error?

For rules with the same order type, use either percentage values only,
or equivalence numbers only.
You can switch from percentage settlement for the settlement to
equivalence numbers (or the other way round). To do this, you must
enter the validity periods for the rules so that no rule with
percentage settlement is valid in the same period as a rule with
equivalence numbers.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KD111 - Rules & and & contradict each other in the settlement share ?

  The SAP error message KD111, which states "Rules & and & contradict each other in the settlement share," typically occurs in the context of settlement in controlling (CO) when there are conflicting rules defined for the settlement of costs or revenues. This error is often encountered when trying to settle internal orders, projects, or cost centers.
  Cause:
  The error arises due to the following reasons:
  
  
  Conflicting Settlement Rules: There are multiple settlement rules defined for the same object (e.g., internal order, project) that contradict each other. For example, one rule may specify a certain percentage of costs to be settled to one cost center, while another rule may specify a different percentage to the same or another cost center.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the settlement rules may not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies in how costs are allocated.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Master Data: The master data for the cost objects involved may be incomplete or incorrect, leading to conflicts in the settlement process.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KD111 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Settlement Rules:
  
  Go to the transaction code KO02 (Change Order) or CJ20N (Project Builder) depending on the object you are working with.
  Check the settlement rules defined for the object in question.
  Ensure that there are no conflicting rules. If there are, you will need to modify or delete the conflicting rules.
  
  
  
  Adjust Settlement Shares:
  
  Make sure that the settlement shares (percentages) add up correctly and do not contradict each other. For example, if you have two rules, their shares should total 100% without any overlaps.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify that all relevant master data (cost centers, internal orders, etc.) is correctly set up and that there are no inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Test Settlement:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, try to execute the settlement process again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or rules, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a functional consultant who specializes in SAP Controlling.
