• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KD267 - Receiver & already being processed as sender; use collective processing ?

  The SAP error message KD267 indicates that a receiver is already being processed as a sender in the context of cost object controlling (CO). This typically occurs when you are trying to execute a transaction that involves cost allocations or assessments, and the system detects that the same cost object is involved in both the sender and receiver roles in the same processing run.
  Cause:
  
  Simultaneous Processing: The error arises when you attempt to process a cost object that is both a sender and a receiver in the same allocation cycle. This can happen if you are trying to allocate costs from one cost center to another while also trying to allocate costs to the same cost center.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the controlling module that are not set up correctly, leading to conflicts in processing.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry or selection of cost objects during the allocation process can also trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use Collective Processing: The error message suggests using collective processing. This means you should process the allocations in a way that allows the system to handle the sender and receiver relationships correctly. You can do this by:
  
  Using the collective processing transaction (e.g., KSU5 for assessments or KSV5 for distributions) to process multiple cost objects at once.
  Ensuring that the sender and receiver relationships are clearly defined and do not overlap in the same processing run.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the controlling module to ensure that they are set up correctly. This includes checking the allocation structure and ensuring that cost centers or internal orders are not incorrectly defined.
  
  
  Review Data Entries: Double-check the data entries for the allocation run. Ensure that you are not inadvertently selecting the same cost object as both sender and receiver.
  
  
  Run Separately: If collective processing is not feasible, consider running the allocation processes separately for the sender and receiver to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KSU5 (for assessments), KSV5 (for distributions), and KOB1 (for displaying actual postings).
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on cost allocations and assessments in the CO module.
  User Forums: Check SAP community forums or user groups for similar issues and solutions shared by other users.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the KD267 error and successfully process your cost allocations.
