• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KD273 - No settlement for this sender ?

  The SAP error message KD273 ("No settlement for this sender") typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) when trying to settle costs from a sender object (like a cost center, internal order, or project) to a receiver object (like a cost center, internal order, or profitability segment). This error indicates that the system cannot find any settlement rules or that the sender object is not configured correctly for settlement.
  Causes of KD273

  Incorrect Sender Object: The sender object may not be set up correctly or may not be eligible for settlement.
  
  
  Settlement Period Issues: The settlement period may not be open or may not match the period in which the costs were incurred.
  
  
  Cost Elements: The cost elements used in the sender object may not be compatible with the settlement process.
  
  
  Settlement Profile: The settlement profile assigned to the sender may not allow for the type of settlement being attempted.
