  The SAP error message /SAPPCE/01048 Network &1 is statistical; Enter a real account assignment typically occurs in the context of project systems (PS) or internal orders when you are trying to post costs or assign expenses to a network activity that is marked as statistical. Statistical networks are used for planning and reporting purposes but do not have a real financial impact, meaning they do not directly affect the financial accounting.
  Cause:
  
  Statistical Network: The network you are trying to post to is defined as a statistical network. This means it is used for planning and tracking purposes but does not allow for actual postings.
  Incorrect Account Assignment: You are attempting to assign costs or expenses to a network activity that requires a real account assignment, but the network is set up to only allow statistical postings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Network Type: Verify if the network you are trying to post to is indeed a statistical network. You can do this by checking the network settings in the SAP system.
  Use a Real Network: If you need to post actual costs, you should use a real network instead of a statistical one. You may need to create a new network or change the existing one to allow for real postings.
  Change Account Assignment: If you are sure that the network should be statistical, ensure that you are using the correct account assignment that aligns with the network's configuration.
  Consult with Configuration Team: If you are unsure about the network settings or how to change them, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant who specializes in Project Systems.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CN21 (Create Network) or CN22 (Change Network) to check or modify network settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed information on network types and account assignments.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to network settings or account assignments.
