  SAP Error Message:
  WAB002 - Direct settlement not possible with settlement procedure & &
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform a direct settlement for a cost object (like a cost center, internal order, or project) that is assigned a settlement rule with a settlement procedure that does not allow direct settlement.
  In SAP Controlling (CO), settlement procedures define how costs are settled from sender objects to receiver objects. Some settlement procedures are designed only for indirect settlement (e.g., via periodic settlement runs), and do not support direct settlement (manual or immediate settlement).
  When you attempt a direct settlement (e.g., using transaction KO88 for internal orders or CJ88 for projects) on an object that uses such a settlement procedure, the system throws this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Settlement Procedure: Defines the rules and receivers for settlement.
  Direct Settlement: Immediate settlement of costs without waiting for periodic settlement.
  Indirect Settlement: Settlement done via periodic batch jobs or settlement runs.
