  The SAP error message WB2R189, which states "Accruals from settlement not allowed for correction with multiple dates," typically occurs in the context of settlement and accruals in SAP's Project System (PS) or Controlling (CO) modules. This error indicates that there is an issue with trying to correct or adjust accruals that have been posted for multiple dates, which is not permitted in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Posting Dates: The error arises when there are multiple posting dates associated with the accruals that you are trying to correct. SAP does not allow corrections to be made when the accruals span different periods or dates.

  Single Date Correction: Ensure that you are only trying to correct accruals that have a single posting date. If there are multiple dates, you may need to separate the transactions and handle them individually.
  Review Accruals: Check the accruals that have been posted and identify if they indeed span multiple dates. You can do this by reviewing the relevant documents in the system.
  Adjust Settlement: If the accruals are tied to a settlement, consider adjusting the settlement process to ensure that it aligns with the correct posting dates.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like CJI3 (Project Actual Line Items) or CJI5 (Project Actual/Plan Comparison) to analyze the postings and identify discrepancies.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to accruals and settlements for any specific guidelines or restrictions that may apply to your version of SAP.
