• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KS144 - Only non-allocatable acitivty type category possible ?

  The SAP error message KS144 ("Only non-allocatable activity type category possible") typically occurs in the context of cost center accounting or internal order management when you are trying to assign an activity type that is not allowed for allocation. This error is related to the configuration of activity types and their categories in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Activity Type Configuration: The activity type you are trying to use is configured as an allocatable activity type, but the system is expecting a non-allocatable activity type. This can happen if the activity type is not set up correctly in the configuration.
  Cost Center or Order Type: The cost center or internal order type you are working with may not support the allocation of the specific activity type you are trying to use.
  Transaction Type: The transaction you are trying to perform may not be compatible with the activity type category.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Activity Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP configuration (SPRO) and navigate to the activity type settings.
  Ensure that the activity type you are trying to use is set up correctly and is categorized as a non-allocatable activity type if that is what is required for your transaction.
  
  
  
  Review Cost Center/Order Type Settings:
  
  Check the settings for the cost center or internal order type to ensure that they are compatible with the activity type you are trying to use.
  Make sure that the cost center or order type allows for the use of the specific activity type.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Activity Type:
  
  If the activity type you are trying to use is indeed allocatable, consider using a different activity type that is categorized as non-allocatable for your specific transaction.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the specific configurations and requirements for the activity types in your system.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like KS01 (Create Activity Type), KS02 (Change Activity Type), or KS03 (Display Activity Type) to manage activity types.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on activity type configuration.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to activity types and cost center configurations.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP Controlling (CO) for further assistance.
