How To Fix WRF_AT118 - System error; allocation-table-relevant indicator set to "Not Relevant"

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WRF_AT - Messages for Allocation Table RTFASH

• Message number: 118

• Message text: System error; allocation-table-relevant indicator set to "Not Relevant"

What causes this issue?

You want to set the allocation table relevancy indicator to 'Not
Relevant for Allocation Table'. However, this is not permitted.
The purchase order processing only transfers those changes to the
allocation table relevancy indicator that do not equal 'Not Relevant for
Allocation Table' to the synchronization module (synchronization with
the allocation table). However, this does not apply in this case (order
&V1&, item &V2&).

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

The system does not accept the change.

How to fix this error?

Change the allocation-table-relevant indicator to a permitted value.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_AT118 - System error; allocation-table-relevant indicator set to "Not Relevant" ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_AT118 – System error; allocation-table-relevant indicator set to "Not Relevant"
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to process a transaction or operation that requires the allocation table to be relevant, but the allocation-table-relevant indicator is set to "Not Relevant" (usually 'N'). In SAP, allocation tables are used in various modules (e.g., Controlling, Asset Accounting) to allocate costs or values based on predefined rules.
  The root cause is typically one of the following:
  
  The configuration for the allocation table or the related object (e.g., cost element, asset class, or settlement rule) has the allocation-table-relevant indicator set to "Not Relevant," but the process expects it to be relevant.
  A mismatch or inconsistency in customizing or master data where the system expects allocation table relevance but finds it disabled.
  An incorrect or incomplete configuration in the allocation table setup or related customizing.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Allocation Table Relevance Indicator:
  
  Go to the customizing transaction where the allocation table or related object is defined.
  Verify the allocation-table-relevant indicator (often a checkbox or flag).
  If the process requires allocation table relevance, set this indicator to "Relevant" (usually 'X' or 'Yes').
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Identify the object causing the error (e.g., cost element, asset class, settlement rule).
  Check the configuration in IMG (Implementation Guide) under the relevant module (e.g., Controlling ? Cost Center Accounting ? Planning ? Allocation Tables).
  Ensure that the allocation table is properly defined and active.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify master data consistency for the involved objects.
  For example, if the error occurs during asset settlement, check asset master data and settlement rules.
  
  
  
  Debugging / Logs:
  
  If the cause is not obvious, use transaction ST22 (dump analysis) or SM21 (system log) to get more details.
  Debug the process to see where the allocation-table-relevant indicator is checked and why it is set to "Not Relevant."
