• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RESCSU069 - SU is settled externally, therefore apportionment rule is invalid ?

  The SAP error message RESCSU069 indicates that a settlement unit (SU) is settled externally, which means that the system cannot apply the specified apportionment rule to that settlement unit. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Controlling (CO) module, particularly in the area of internal order or project settlement.
  Cause:
  
  External Settlement: The settlement unit has been configured to be settled externally, which means that it is not intended to be settled within the SAP system. This can happen if the settlement is directed to an external system or if the settlement is done through a different process.
  Apportionment Rule Misconfiguration: The apportionment rule you are trying to apply is not valid for settlement units that are settled externally. The system does not allow the application of internal rules to external settlements.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the settlement profile or the settings for the specific settlement unit.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Settlement Configuration: Review the configuration of the settlement unit to ensure that it is set up correctly. If it is intended to be settled internally, you may need to change the settings to reflect that.
  Review Apportionment Rules: Ensure that the apportionment rule you are trying to apply is appropriate for the type of settlement you are performing. If the SU is meant to be settled externally, you may need to use a different approach or rule.
  Adjust Settlement Profile: If the settlement profile is incorrectly set up, you may need to adjust it to allow for the correct application of apportionment rules.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on settlement units and apportionment rules to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as KO88 (Order Settlement) or CJI3 (Project Actual Line Items) to analyze the settlement units and their configurations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on settlement configurations.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to settlement configurations and rules.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP Controlling for further assistance.
