• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM057 - Entry of act. data w. activity posting and partial reversal not supported ?

  The SAP error message RM057 ("Entry of actual data with activity posting and partial reversal not supported") typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) when you are trying to post actual data for an activity allocation that has already been partially reversed. This error indicates that the system does not allow for a combination of activity postings and partial reversals in the same transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Partial Reversal: You may have previously performed a partial reversal of an activity allocation, which has left the system in a state where it cannot accept new postings for that same activity.
  Activity Type Configuration: The configuration of the activity type may not support the combination of activity postings and partial reversals.
  Document Status: The document you are trying to post against may be in a status that does not allow further postings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Ensure that the document you are trying to post to is in a status that allows for new postings. If it has been partially reversed, you may need to complete the reversal or adjust the document.
  Full Reversal: If you need to reverse an activity allocation, consider performing a full reversal instead of a partial one. This will reset the document and allow you to post new activity data.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration of the activity types in the controlling area to ensure that they are set up correctly for the type of postings you are trying to perform.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on handling activity postings and reversals in your version of SAP.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like KSB1 (Actual Line Items) or KOB1 (Order Actual Line Items) to review the postings and identify any inconsistencies.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in the CO module, such as KSV5 (Display Activity Allocation) and KSV1 (Create Activity Allocation).
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the actions you are attempting, as restrictions may lead to errors.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or consult the SAP community for further assistance.
