How To Fix KD565 - Debit under cost element & not completely settled

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KD - CO Settlement

• Message number: 565

• Message text: Debit under cost element & not completely settled

What causes this issue?

You should perform a full settlement for the sender. All costs for the
sender are settled during a full settlement.
In the following case, the order balance can still be <> 0:
You maintain distribution rules for the sender, in which an amount is
maintained.
There are no FUL rules (settlement type FUL) with percentage rate or
equivalence numbers.
In this example, it could be that more than or less than the order
balance is settled during the full settlement.

How can this happen?

During a major repair, you estimate costs of $100,000. The repair lasts
about 10 months. The costs for the repair are collected on an order and
should be settled as evenly as possible to the responsible cost center.
As the costs incurred in the individual periods can vary, you settle
exactly $10,000 to the responsible cost center for each of the 10
months. Only when the final invoice for the repair has been posted to
the order, do you make a final settlement with settlement type FUL and
100%. Now you have ensured that the order balance is 0.

How to fix this error?

Check whether, in this case, an incomplete settlement is planned.
