• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WJ015 - Error determining allocation table ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WJ015 - Error determining allocation table
  
  Cause:
  The error message WJ015 typically occurs in SAP when the system is unable to determine or find the appropriate allocation table during a process involving allocations, such as in Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA) or Internal Orders (CO-OM-OPA). This can happen due to:
  
  Missing or incorrect configuration of allocation cycles or allocation structures.
  The allocation cycle does not have a valid or assigned allocation table.
  The allocation table is not maintained or is incomplete.
  Incorrect or missing master data related to the allocation process.
  Inconsistent or incomplete customizing settings in the controlling area or cost center accounting.
  
  
  Explanation:
  In SAP Controlling, allocation tables define how costs are distributed or allocated from sender objects (like cost centers or internal orders) to receiver objects. The system uses these tables during periodic allocations or assessments.
  If the system cannot find the allocation table, it cannot perform the allocation, resulting in the WJ015 error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Allocation Cycle Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction KSU1 (Create Allocation Cycle) or KSU2 (Change Allocation Cycle).
  Verify that the allocation cycle is correctly defined and that an allocation table is assigned.
  Ensure the allocation cycle is active and valid for the controlling area and period.
  
  
  
  Verify Allocation Table:
  
  Use transaction KSU3 (Display Allocation Table) to check if the allocation table exists and is properly maintained.
  Confirm that the allocation table contains valid sender and receiver objects and percentages or keys for allocation.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the sender and receiver cost centers or internal orders exist and are valid.
  Verify that the controlling area and cost center accounting settings are consistent.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing Settings:
  
  In SPRO, navigate to Controlling ? Cost Center Accounting ? Planning ? Assessment/Distribution ? Define Allocation Cycles.
  Confirm that the allocation cycle is correctly linked to the allocation table.
  Check if the controlling area settings are consistent.
  
  
  
  Run Consistency Checks:
  
  Use transaction KSU5 (Check Allocation Cycle) to perform consistency checks on the allocation cycle and tables.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure the user executing the allocation has the necessary authorizations to access the allocation tables and cycles.

  Related Notes and Documentation:
  
  SAP Notes related to allocation cycles and tables may provide specific fixes or patches.
  Review SAP Help Portal documentation on Assessment and Distribution Cycles in Controlling.
  
  
  
  Common Scenario:
  
  This error often appears during the execution of an assessment or distribution cycle when the system tries to read the allocation table but fails due to missing or incorrect configuration.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Details
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Missing or incorrect allocation table assignment in allocation cycle configuration.
  
  
  Effect
  System cannot perform cost allocations, resulting in error WJ015.
  
  
  Solution
  Verify and maintain allocation cycles and tables via KSU1/KSU2/KSU3; check master data.
  
  
  Transactions
  KSU1, KSU2, KSU3, KSU5, KSU6
  
  
  
  
  If after these checks the problem persists, consider debugging the allocation program or contacting SAP support with detailed logs and configuration screenshots.
