What causes this issue?

The sender is a capital investment measure, for which an asset under
construction (AUC) is managed for each source assignment. During the
first settlement, an AUC distribution rule is generated for each AUC.
After this first settlement, additional source assignments were entered
in the source structure. During a change to the sender master data,
additional AUCs were created for the new source assignments. However,
the AUC rules do not exist for these fixed assets.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KD218 - No AUC rule exists for source assignment & ?

  The SAP error message KD218 ("No AUC rule exists for source assignment &") typically occurs in the context of Asset Under Construction (AUC) accounting when there is an attempt to post costs to an AUC without a defined allocation rule for the source assignment. This can happen during various transactions, such as when transferring costs or during settlement processes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing AUC Rule: The primary cause of this error is that there is no allocation rule defined for the specific source assignment in the AUC configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for AUC in the controlling (CO) module may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of the necessary rules.
  Source Assignment Issues: The source assignment (e.g., cost center, internal order) may not be linked to an AUC rule in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KD218 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check AUC Configuration:

  Define AUC Rules:

  Ensure that the rules are set up to allow the posting of costs from the relevant source assignments to the AUC.
  
  
  
  Review Source Assignments:
  
  Check the source assignment (e.g., cost center, internal order) to ensure it is correctly linked to the AUC.
  Make sure that the source assignment is valid and active.
  
  
  
  Test Posting:
  
  After making the necessary changes, attempt to post the transaction again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
