SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KD - CO Settlement

• Message number: 529

• Message text: Correct your material distribution rules

What causes this issue?

You have defined more than one material rule, which is not allowed.
You need to differentiate between two different cases.
Product cost collectors cannot have extra rules to other receivers as
well as a material rule (strategy 005).
All other production orders may have exactly one material rule as well
as other rules to other receivers.

How to fix this error?

Reduce the number of valid material rules to 1. For a product cost
collector, delete the rules that do not go to receiver material, or set
the material rule to 0%.
If any rule has not yet been used, you can delete it. If the rule was
used in an earlier settlement, you must limit the period for which it
is valid.
