WRMA_CAT131 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  WRMA_CAT131 – Check of settings for RMA cost allocation by BI reference data
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the Return Material Authorization (RMA) process when the system attempts to allocate costs based on Business Intelligence (BI) reference data, but the necessary configuration or master data for cost allocation is missing or incorrect.
  Specifically, the system checks the settings for RMA cost allocation using BI reference data (such as cost centers, internal orders, or other controlling objects). If these settings are not properly maintained or the reference data is incomplete or inconsistent, the system raises this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The RMA process in SAP can be integrated with Controlling (CO) and BI to allocate costs related to returns.
  The error indicates that the system cannot find or validate the BI reference data required for cost allocation.
  This could be due to missing or incorrect assignment of controlling objects in the RMA customizing or master data.
