• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WAUF_ADD029 - Rounding according to rounding profile only at item level ?

  The SAP error message WAUF_ADD029 indicates that there is an issue with rounding in the context of item-level processing, specifically when using a rounding profile. This error typically arises in scenarios involving sales orders, purchase orders, or other transactional documents where monetary values need to be rounded according to specific business rules defined in the rounding profile.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system attempts to apply rounding rules at a level that is not permitted. The rounding profile is set up to apply rounding at the item level, but the operation being performed may be trying to apply it at a higher level (e.g., document level) or in a way that conflicts with the defined rounding rules.
  Solution:
  To resolve the WAUF_ADD029 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Rounding Profile Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the rounding profile in SAP. Ensure that the rounding profile is correctly set up for the intended use case (item level vs. document level).

  Review Document Structure:
  
  Ensure that the document structure (e.g., sales order, purchase order) is correctly set up to allow for item-level rounding. Check if there are any inconsistencies in the item data that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Adjust Item Values:
  
  If the error is related to specific item values, review the amounts being processed. Ensure that they are compatible with the rounding rules defined in the profile.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Scenarios:
  
  If possible, test the transaction with different items or values to see if the error persists. This can help identify if the issue is isolated to specific data.
