• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RESCSP008 - Maximum costs were defined, but tenant share is 0% ?

  The SAP error message RESCSP008 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to cost distribution in a resource planning or project management context. Specifically, it means that maximum costs have been defined for a particular resource or project, but the tenant share (the percentage of costs that should be allocated to a specific tenant or cost center) is set to 0%. This can lead to inconsistencies in cost allocation and reporting.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Error: The tenant share percentage is incorrectly set to 0%, which means that no costs can be allocated to that tenant.
  Missing Data: There may be missing or incomplete data in the configuration settings for the resource or project.
  Business Logic: The business logic or rules defined in the system may not align with the intended cost distribution.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the resource or project in question.
  Verify the tenant share percentage. If it is set to 0%, update it to the appropriate percentage that reflects the intended cost allocation.
  
  
  
  Review Maximum Costs:
  
  Ensure that the maximum costs defined are appropriate and align with the tenant share. If the maximum costs are set but the tenant share is 0%, it creates a conflict.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or guidelines related to cost distribution and resource planning to ensure that all settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that costs are being allocated correctly and that the error message no longer appears.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support:

  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may help in navigating to the configuration settings (e.g., SPRO for configuration).
  Cost Allocation Methods: Understand the different methods of cost allocation in SAP, as this may affect how tenant shares are defined and utilized.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the configuration settings.
  
  By addressing the configuration of the tenant share and ensuring it aligns with the defined maximum costs, you should be able to resolve the RESCSP008 error message.
