  The SAP error message OQ_E202, which states "No splitting criteria have been defined for splitting indicator &," typically occurs in the context of the SAP system's handling of document splitting, particularly in the area of financial accounting or controlling. This error indicates that the system is unable to process a document because it lacks the necessary criteria to split the document into different segments or components based on the specified splitting indicator.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the splitting criteria for the specified splitting indicator have not been defined in the system. This can happen if the configuration for document splitting has not been completed or if the splitting criteria have been incorrectly set up.
  
  
  Incorrect Splitting Indicator: The splitting indicator being referenced may not be correctly assigned or may not exist in the configuration.
  
  
  Document Type Issues: The document type being processed may not be compatible with the defined splitting criteria.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the OQ_E202 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Splitting Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for document splitting in the SAP system. This is typically found under the following path:
  
  SPRO > Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Document Splitting > Define Splitting Characteristics.
  
  
  Ensure that the splitting criteria for the relevant splitting indicator are defined correctly.
  
  
  
  Define Splitting Criteria:
  
  If no criteria are defined, you will need to create them. This involves specifying the characteristics that the system should use to split the document (e.g., profit center, segment, etc.).
  
  
  
  Review Document Type Settings:
  
  Check the document type settings to ensure that they are compatible with the splitting criteria. You can find this under:
  
  SPRO > Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Document Splitting > Define Document Types.
  
  
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making changes, test the configuration by attempting to post a document that previously generated the error. Ensure that the document can now be processed without issues.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration steps, refer to SAP documentation or consult with an SAP functional consultant who specializes in financial accounting or controlling.
