• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS002 - No settlement document type passed on ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WS002: No settlement document type passed on:
  
  Error Message: WS002 - No settlement document type passed on
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the settlement process in SAP (typically in Controlling - CO module) when the system tries to create a settlement document but the document type for the settlement document is not determined or passed to the system.
  In other words, the system expects a settlement document type to be specified or derived from the settlement rule or configuration, but it is missing or not maintained properly.
  Common reasons include:
  
  The settlement profile or settlement rule does not have a document type assigned.
  The settlement document type is not maintained in the configuration.
  The system cannot determine the document type due to missing or incorrect configuration in the settlement profile or related customizing.
  The settlement process is triggered without proper settlement parameters.
  
  
  Where it typically occurs:
  
  During settlement of internal orders, cost centers, WBS elements, or other CO objects.
  When executing transaction KO88 (Order Settlement) or similar settlement transactions.
  When the system tries to post the settlement document but lacks the document type.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Settlement Profile Configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Controlling ? Internal Orders ? Settle Internal Orders ? Define Settlement Profile.
  Verify that the settlement profile assigned to the order has a valid Settlement Document Type maintained.
  If missing, assign the appropriate document type (e.g., SA for FI documents).
  
  
  
  Check Settlement Rule:
  
  Review the settlement rule assigned to the order or object.
  Ensure that the settlement rule is correctly maintained and linked to a valid settlement profile.
  
  
  
  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  Verify that the document type used for settlement is properly configured in FI.
  Go to SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Financial Accounting Global Settings ? Document ? Document Types ? Define Document Types.
  Confirm that the document type exists and is active.
  
  
  
  Check Order Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the internal order or object being settled has the correct settlement profile assigned.
  Use transaction KO02 to check and maintain the settlement profile.
  
  
  
  Re-run Settlement:
  
  After correcting the configuration, re-run the settlement transaction (e.g., KO88).
  
  
  
  Additional Checks:
  
  If the settlement is done via custom programs or interfaces, ensure that the document type is passed correctly in the settlement parameters.
  Check for any user-exits or BADIs that might influence the settlement document type.
