• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PRA/OWNERSHIP003 - Funds transfer not allowed among affiliate & and non-affiliate & owners ?

  The SAP error message /PRA/OWNERSHIP003 indicates that a funds transfer is not allowed between affiliate and non-affiliate owners in the context of the SAP Public Sector Management (PSM) module, particularly in the area of Public Revenue Accounting (PRA). This error typically arises when there is an attempt to transfer funds between entities that are classified differently in terms of ownership or affiliation.
  Cause:
  
  Ownership Classification: The error is triggered when the system detects that the source and target entities involved in the funds transfer are classified as either affiliates or non-affiliates. The system is designed to prevent transfers between these two classifications to maintain financial integrity and compliance with regulations.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system may not allow for such transfers due to business rules or legal requirements.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in the data entry where the ownership type of the entities is incorrectly defined.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Ownership Classifications: Check the ownership classifications of the entities involved in the transfer. Ensure that both entities are either affiliates or non-affiliates.
  Adjust Transfer Logic: If the transfer is necessary, consider adjusting the logic of the transfer to ensure that it complies with the ownership rules. This may involve breaking the transfer into smaller transactions that comply with the rules.
  Consult Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to ownership and funds transfer. If necessary, consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to modify the settings to allow for the desired transfer, if it is compliant with your organization’s policies.
  Data Correction: If the error is due to incorrect data entry, correct the ownership classification of the entities involved before attempting the transfer again.
  Documentation and Compliance: Ensure that any changes made to the transfer process are documented and comply with relevant financial regulations and organizational policies.
