• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W0083 - Select one setting schema as standard ?

  SAP Error Message:
  W0083 - Select one setting schema as standard
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you are working with setting schemas (e.g., in controlling, cost center accounting, or other configuration areas) and have not designated any one of the setting schemas as the standard (default) schema. SAP requires that exactly one setting schema be marked as the standard to ensure that the system knows which schema to use by default in processes or reports.
  
  Explanation:
  
  A setting schema is a collection of rules or settings that control how certain values (like cost allocations, assessments, or distributions) are processed.
  When multiple schemas exist, one must be flagged as the standard so that SAP can automatically select it when no other schema is specified.
  If none is set as standard, or if multiple are set as standard, the system issues this warning to prompt correction.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the setting schemas you have created or maintained.
  Select exactly one schema to
