• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KD135 - Cross company settlement is not supported (&1/&2) ?

  The SAP error message KD135 "Cross company settlement is not supported (&1/&2)" typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) when you are trying to perform a settlement process that involves multiple company codes. This error indicates that the system does not support the settlement of costs across different company codes.
  Cause:
  
  Cross-Company Code Settlement: The primary cause of this error is that the system is configured to prevent cross-company code settlements. In SAP, each company code is treated as a separate legal entity, and certain processes, including settlements, are restricted to within the same company code.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the controlling area or the settlement profile may not allow for cross-company code transactions.
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the cost objects involved may not be set up correctly to allow for cross-company code transactions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in the SAP system (Transaction SPRO).
  Navigate to Controlling > Cost Center Accounting > Settlement > Define Settlement Profile.
  Ensure that the settlement profile does not restrict cross-company code settlements if that is intended.
  Check the controlling area settings to ensure that it allows for cross-company code transactions.
  
  
  
  Use Same Company Code:
  
  If cross-company code settlement is not required, ensure that the cost objects (e.g., internal orders, cost centers) involved in the settlement belong to the same company code.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the cost objects involved in the settlement. Ensure that they are correctly assigned to the appropriate company codes and controlling areas.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations related to your organization's setup.
  
  
  
  Custom Development:
  
  If cross-company code settlements are necessary for your business processes, consider discussing with your SAP technical team about potential custom development or enhancements that could allow for this functionality.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like OKZ1 (Settlement Profile) and KOB1 (Order Information System) to analyze and manage settlements.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If your organization has specific requirements, consider exploring user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that might allow for custom handling of settlements.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a consultant who specializes in SAP CO for further assistance.
