• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KO840 - Settlement profile &1 with settlement of parallel ledgers not supported ?

  The SAP error message KO840 indicates that there is an issue with the settlement profile being used for a particular cost object (like an internal order or a project) in relation to parallel ledgers. This error typically arises when the settlement profile is not configured to support the settlement of parallel ledgers, which is a feature that allows for the management of multiple accounting principles (like IFRS and GAAP) within the same system.

  Check Settlement Profile:
  
  Go to the configuration of the settlement profile in the SAP system (Transaction code: OPAF).
