How To Fix KD215 - Settlement by amount already made in the current settlement period

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KD - CO Settlement

• Message number: 215

• Message text: Settlement by amount already made in the current settlement period

What causes this issue?

For a sender there are only distribution rules with settlement type FUL
and an amount.
The sender has already been settled in the settlement period entered.

System Response

As an amount can only be settled once during a settlement period, the
system does not consider these distribution rules when settlement is
repeated within the same period.

How to fix this error?

If, after the first settlement in a settlement period, further actual
cost postings were assigned to an account on the sender, then the
sender can have a balance. This balance is only considered during
settlement in the next period.
If required, check the balance for the sender.
