• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RESCCC021 - Cost collectors must be set to status 'settled' without gaps ?

  The SAP error message RESCCC021 indicates that there are cost collectors in the system that are not set to the status 'settled' without gaps. This typically occurs in the context of controlling and project systems where cost collectors (such as internal orders or projects) are used to track costs.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  There are cost collectors that have not been fully settled, meaning that there are open transactions or costs that have not been allocated or transferred to the appropriate financial accounts.
  There are gaps in the settlement process, which means that some cost collectors have been settled while others have not, leading to inconsistencies in the data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Cost Collector Status:
  
  Use transaction codes like KOB1 (for internal orders) or CJI3 (for project-related costs) to review the status of the cost collectors.
  Identify which cost collectors are not settled.
  
  
  
  Settle Cost Collectors:
  
  Use transaction code KO88 (for internal orders) or CJ88 (for projects) to settle the cost collectors that are not yet settled.
  Ensure that all relevant costs are allocated correctly during the settlement process.
  
  
  
  Review Settlement Rules:
  
  Check the settlement rules for the cost collectors to ensure they are correctly configured. This includes verifying the receiver objects and the allocation methods.
  
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks:
  
  After settling, run consistency checks to ensure that there are no remaining gaps. You can use transaction KOB2 to check for inconsistencies in internal orders.
  
  
  
  Reprocess Settlements:
  
  If necessary, you may need to reverse and reprocess settlements if there were errors during the initial settlement.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the cost collector types you are using, as the steps may vary slightly based on the configuration.
