• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WAB020 - Cross-company-code operations not together with settlement partner ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WAB020 - Cross-company-code operations not together with settlement partner
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the settlement process in SAP when you try to perform cross-company-code operations together with a settlement partner. Specifically, the system does not allow cross-company-code postings if the settlement involves a settlement partner (i.e., when the settlement receiver is defined as a partner company code).
  In other words, the system restricts combining cross-company-code postings and settlement partner postings in the same settlement run or document because these are handled differently in terms of accounting entries and intercompany reconciliation.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Cross-company-code operations: Transactions where costs or revenues are settled across different company codes.
  Settlement partner: A company code defined as a partner in the settlement profile, used for intercompany settlements.
  
  When you settle costs or revenues, if the receiver is a settlement partner (another company code), the system expects the settlement to be handled as an intercompany posting with proper partner company code
