KN351
- Sales order has further items in other controlling areas ?The SAP error message KN351, which states "Sales order has further items in other controlling areas," typically occurs when you are trying to process a sales order that contains items assigned to different controlling areas. This can happen in scenarios where the sales order is linked to multiple cost centers or profit centers that belong to different controlling areas.
Cause:
- Multiple Controlling Areas: The sales order contains items that are assigned to different controlling areas. In SAP, each controlling area is a separate entity for cost accounting, and items from different controlling areas cannot be processed together in a single sales order.
- Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that allow items from different controlling areas to be included in the same sales order.
- Master Data Issues: The master data for the materials or services in the sales order may be incorrectly set up, leading to the assignment of different controlling areas.
Solution:
- Review Sales Order Items: Check the items in the sales order to identify which ones belong to different controlling areas. You can do this by reviewing the item details in the sales order.
- Separate Sales Orders: If the items belong to different controlling areas, you will need to create separate sales orders for each controlling area. This ensures that each sales order only contains items that belong to the same controlling area.
- Check Master Data: Review the master data for the materials or services involved in the sales order. Ensure that they are correctly assigned to the appropriate controlling area.
- Configuration Review: If necessary, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to controlling areas and sales orders. Ensure that the system is configured to prevent the mixing of items from different controlling areas in a single sales order.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for further guidance on handling sales orders and controlling areas.
