• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KS094 - Ref. cost center is not a statistical cost center ?

  The SAP error message KS094 ("Ref. cost center is not a statistical cost center") typically occurs when you are trying to perform a transaction that involves a cost center that is not defined as a statistical cost center in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as during the posting of costs or when executing certain reports.
  Cause:
  
  Cost Center Type: The cost center you are referencing is not set up as a statistical cost center. In SAP, cost centers can be classified as either primary (where actual costs are posted) or statistical (used for tracking purposes without actual postings).
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the cost center in the controlling area may not be set correctly, leading to this error when trying to reference it in a transaction that expects a statistical cost center.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Cost Center Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code KS03 (Display Cost Center) and enter the cost center in question.
  Verify the settings and ensure that the cost center is marked as a statistical cost center if that is the intended use.
  
  
  
  Change Cost Center Type:
  
  If the cost center should be a statistical cost center, you may need to change its type. This can be done using transaction code KS02 (Change Cost Center).
  Ensure that the "Statistical" checkbox is selected if you want it to be treated as a statistical cost center.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Logic:
  
  If you are using a program or report that references this cost center, ensure that the logic is correct and that it is indeed supposed to reference a statistical cost center.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on how to configure cost centers appropriately for your business processes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Cost Center Accounting (CCA): Understanding the difference between primary and statistical cost centers is crucial. Primary cost centers are used for actual cost postings, while statistical cost centers are used for planning and reporting purposes without actual postings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to cost center configuration and error messages.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to cost center configurations.
