KD205 - Details

• The SAP error message KD205, "Maintain the settlement rule of the sender," typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) when you are trying to settle costs from a sender cost object (like an internal order, cost center, or project) to a receiver cost object (like another internal order, cost center, or profitability segment) but the settlement rule for the sender is not properly defined.

  Cost Object Status: The status of the sender cost object may not allow for settlement (e.g., it may be in a locked state or not fully completed).
