  The SAP error message KW124, which states "Business process &1 is statistical - transaction is not allowed," typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and profitability analysis (CO-PA) when you attempt to post a transaction to a statistical business process. 
  Cause:
  
  Statistical Business Process: The business process you are trying to post to is defined as a statistical process in the system. Statistical processes are used for reporting and analysis purposes but do not allow actual postings.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the controlling area or the specific business process may be set to prevent actual postings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Business Process Configuration:

  You can access the configuration through the following path: SPRO > Controlling > Profitability Analysis > Master Data > Define Characteristics for Profitability Analysis.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Business Process:
  
  If you need to post actual transactions, consider using a different business process that is not marked as statistical.

  Related Information:
