KD118
- The sender cannot settle to itself ?The SAP error message KD118 ("The sender cannot settle to itself") typically occurs in the context of internal order or cost center accounting when you attempt to settle costs from a sender object (like an internal order or cost center) to itself. This is not allowed in SAP because it creates a circular reference, which is logically inconsistent.
Cause: Self-Settlement Attempt: The primary cause of this error is that the sender object is being set up to settle costs to itself. For example, if you have an internal order and you try to settle costs from that order back to itself, SAP will throw this error.
Configuration Issues: There may be incorrect configuration settings in the settlement rules or in the master data of the sender object. Settlement Rules: The settlement rules defined for the sender object may not be set up correctly, leading to an attempt to settle to itself.
Solution: Check Settlement Rules: Review
