• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KS106 - No activity types exist for the selection criteria entered ?

  The SAP error message KS106: No activity types exist for the selection criteria entered typically occurs in the context of cost center accounting or internal order management when you are trying to perform a transaction that requires activity types, but none are available based on the criteria you have specified.
  Cause:
  
  No Activity Types Defined: The most common cause is that there are no activity types defined for the controlling area or cost center you are working with.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you entered (such as controlling area, cost center, or period) do not match any existing activity types.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the activity types.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the controlling area or the activity type settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Activity Types:
  
  Go to the transaction code KP26 (Change Activity Type) or KP06 (Change Activity Type Planning) to check if any activity types are defined for the relevant controlling area.
  Ensure that the activity types are correctly assigned to the relevant cost centers or internal orders.
  
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria:
  
  Double-check the selection criteria you entered. Make sure that the controlling area, cost center, and other parameters are correct and correspond to the existing activity types.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the activity types. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to verify your permissions.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review:
  
  If you have access to configuration settings, check the configuration for activity types in the controlling area. This can be done through transaction SPRO (SAP Reference IMG) and navigating to:
  
  Controlling -> Cost Center Accounting -> Master Data -> Activity Types.
  
  
  Ensure that the activity types are properly configured and assigned to the relevant cost centers.
