  The SAP error message RESCSH068 indicates that a resource (in this case, represented by &1) must participate in settlement during a specified period (&2). This error typically arises in the context of settlement processes in SAP, particularly in modules like SAP Controlling (CO) or Project System (PS).
  Cause:
  The error usually occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Settlement Configuration: The resource or cost object is not properly configured to participate in the settlement process for the specified period.
  Settlement Rules: There may be missing or incorrect settlement rules for the resource, which prevents it from being included in the settlement.
  Period Closure: The period in question may be closed for posting, which means that no further transactions can be settled in that period.
  Missing Data: Required data for the settlement process may be missing or incomplete, such as settlement receivers or allocation structures.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Settlement Configuration:
  
  Verify that the resource is correctly configured to participate in the settlement process. This includes checking the settings in the controlling area and ensuring that the resource is assigned to the correct cost center or internal order.
  
  
  
  Review Settlement Rules:

  Open the Period:
  
  If the period is closed, you may need to open it for posting. This can be done by using transaction OB52 to adjust the posting periods.
  
  
  
  Complete Missing Data:
  
  Check for any missing data that is required for the settlement process. This may include ensuring that all necessary allocations and assignments are in place.
  
  
  
  Run Settlement Again:
