  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_AT_GENERATE113 - Specify an allocation strategy variant ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WRF_AT_GENERATE113Specify an allocation strategy variant


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the system expects an allocation strategy variant to be specified for a particular process (often related to cost allocation, settlement, or planning functions), but none has been provided. The allocation strategy variant defines how costs or quantities are distributed or allocated during processing.

    In other words, the system requires you to select or maintain an allocation strategy variant to proceed, but the field is either empty or the variant specified is invalid or missing.


    When does it typically occur?

    • During cost allocation or settlement runs.
    • When generating or executing planning or distribution processes that require an allocation strategy.
    • In processes involving internal orders, cost centers, or profitability analysis where allocation strategies are used.

    Solution:

    1. Specify an Allocation Strategy Variant:

      • Go to the relevant transaction or process where the error occurs.
      • Enter a valid allocation strategy variant in the required field.
      • If you do not know which variant to use, consult your controlling or finance team.
    2. Maintain Allocation Strategy Variants:

      • Use transaction codes such as:
        • KSU1 (Create Allocation Strategy)
        • KSU2 (Change Allocation Strategy)
        • KSU3 (Display Allocation Strategy)
      • Verify that the allocation strategy variant exists and is correctly configured.
    3. Check Configuration:

      • Ensure that the allocation strategy variant is assigned correctly in the customizing settings.
      • Path in SPRO:
        Controlling (CO) ? Cost Center Accounting ? Planning ? Allocation ? Define Allocation Strategy Variants
    4. Verify Master Data:

      • Check if the master data (e.g., cost centers, internal orders) involved in the process have the allocation strategy variant assigned or linked properly.
    5. Consult Documentation or SAP Notes:

      • If the problem persists, check SAP Notes or documentation for your specific module or process.

    Related Information:

    • Allocation Strategy Variant: Defines the rules and methods for distributing costs or quantities during allocation or settlement.
    • Common Transactions:
      • KSU1/KSU2/KSU3 – Manage allocation strategies.

      • KSV5 – Execute distribution cycles.
    • Customization Path:
      SPRO ? Controlling ? Cost Center Accounting ? Planning ? Allocation ? Define Allocation Strategy Variants

    Summary:

    The error WRF_AT_GENERATE113 indicates that an allocation strategy variant must be specified but is missing. To resolve it, specify a valid allocation strategy variant in the process or maintain the necessary allocation strategy variants in the system configuration.
