• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RESCCC023 - Release only for settled cost collectors ?

  The SAP error message RESCCC023 indicates that a release action is being attempted on a cost collector that has already been settled. This typically occurs in the context of controlling and project systems where cost collectors are used to accumulate costs for projects or internal orders.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you try to release a cost collector that has already been settled. In SAP, once a cost collector is settled, it is no longer eligible for further releases or postings. This is a safeguard to ensure that financial data remains consistent and that no further changes can be made to settled transactions.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Cost Collector:
  
  Verify if the cost collector in question has indeed been settled. You can do this by checking the status in the relevant transaction (e.g., using transaction codes like CJI3 for project reports or KOB1 for order reports).
  
  
  
  Review Settlement Documents:
  
  If the cost collector has been settled, review the settlement documents to understand the implications and whether any adjustments are necessary.
  
  
  
  Use a New Cost Collector:
  
  If you need to continue posting costs, consider creating a new cost collector for any new costs that need to be tracked.
  
  
  
  Reversing Settlement (if applicable):
  
  If you find that the settlement was done in error and you need to make adjustments, you may need to reverse the settlement. This can be done using the appropriate transaction (e.g., KO88 for order settlement reversal). However, be cautious with this approach, as it can have significant implications on financial reporting.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of reversing a settlement or creating a new cost collector, consult with your finance or controlling team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
