• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RESCCC004 - Cost collector for SU &2 for period &1 was already posted ?

  The SAP error message RESCCC004 indicates that a cost collector for a specific cost object (in this case, a cost collector for a work order or project) has already been posted for a particular period. This typically occurs in the context of controlling and project systems where cost collectors are used to accumulate costs for various activities.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Posting: The error usually arises when there is an attempt to post costs to a cost collector that has already been closed for the specified period.
  Period Locking: The period in question may be locked for posting, either due to period-end closing activities or because it has been closed in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the controlling module that prevent further postings to the cost collector.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Posting Period: Verify if the period you are trying to post to is indeed closed. You can do this by checking the period status in the controlling area.
  Open the Period: If necessary and appropriate, you can open the period for posting. This typically requires authorization and should be done with caution, as it can affect financial reporting.
  Review Cost Collector Status: Check the status of the cost collector to ensure it is still open for postings. If it has been closed, you may need to create a new cost collector or adjust the existing one.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the implications of opening a closed period or modifying a cost collector, consult with your finance or controlling team for guidance.
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like KSB1 (Cost Centers: Actual Line Items) or CJI3 (Project Actual Line Items) to review postings and identify any discrepancies.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on cost collectors and period closing procedures.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP for managing cost collectors and postings, such as:
  
  KSV5: Display cost collector
  KSV1: Create cost collector
  KSV2: Change cost collector
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform actions related to cost collectors and period management.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant for further investigation.
