• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REEXPM033 - Meters are not allowed on cost object SUs ?

  The SAP error message REEXPM033, which states "Meters are not allowed on cost object SUs," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Project System (PS) or Controlling (CO) modules when there is an attempt to assign or use meters (measurement units) on a cost object that does not support them.
  Cause:
  
  Cost Object Type: The cost object (such as a cost center, internal order, or project) you are trying to use does not allow for the assignment of meters. This is often the case with certain types of cost objects that are not configured to handle measurement-based costs.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the cost object may not be set up to allow for the use of meters. This can be due to the settings in the controlling area or the specific cost object type.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be an error in the data entry where meters are being incorrectly assigned to a cost object that does not support them.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Cost Object Type: Verify the type of cost object you are using. Ensure that it is a type that supports meters. If it does not, you may need to use a different cost object that allows for measurement-based costs.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the SAP system for the cost object. This may involve looking at the controlling area settings or the specific settings for the cost object type. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to adjust these settings if necessary.
  Correct Data Entry: If the error is due to incorrect data entry, review the entries you are making and ensure that you are not trying to assign meters to a cost object that does not support them.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on the specific cost object and its capabilities regarding measurement units.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration settings.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to cost object configuration, such as OKEB (for cost center planning) or OPL8 (for internal order types).
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to cost object configurations if required.
  Testing: After making any changes, conduct tests to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the cost object behaves as expected.
  
  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 CO/PS for further assistance.
