  Error Message
  WS036: No settlement process type passed on
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during the settlement process in SAP Controlling (CO), specifically when the system tries to execute a settlement run but does not find a valid settlement process type assigned or passed to the settlement rule or settlement profile.
  
  The settlement process type is a key parameter that defines how the settlement is carried out (e.g., settlement to cost centers, orders, assets, etc.).
  If this process type is missing or not maintained in the settlement rule or settlement profile, the system cannot determine how to settle the costs, leading to this error.
  It can also happen if the settlement profile or the settlement rule is incomplete or incorrectly configured.
  
  
  Where it typically occurs
  
  During settlement of internal orders, WBS elements, or cost centers.
  When running transaction codes like KO88 (Order Settlement), CJ88 (WBS Element Settlement), or during batch settlement runs.
  In custom programs or user exits that call settlement functions without passing the settlement process type.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Settlement Rule:
  
  Go to the settlement rule of the object (e.g., internal order, WBS element).
  Verify that the settlement process type is maintained.
  Transaction: KO02 (Change Order) ? Settlement rule tab.
  Ensure the settlement rule has a valid receiver and settlement process type.
  
  
  
  Check Settlement Profile:
  
  The settlement profile assigned to the object must have a valid settlement process type.
  Transaction: OKO7 (Settlement Profile).
  Verify the process type is correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Maintain Settlement Process Type:
  
  If missing, assign the correct settlement process type.
  Common settlement process types include:
  
  1 = Settlement to cost centers
  2 = Settlement to fixed assets
  3 = Settlement to profitability segments
  etc.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Customizing:
  
  Verify in IMG under Controlling ? Internal Orders ? Settle Internal Orders ? Define Settlement Profiles that the profiles are correctly configured.
  Also check Controlling ? Internal Orders ? Settle Internal Orders ? Define Settlement Process Types.
  
  
  
  Re-run Settlement:
  
  After correcting the settlement rule or profile, re-run the settlement transaction.
  
  
  
  Debugging (if needed):
  
  If the error persists, debugging the settlement program (e.g., SAPLKO88) can help identify where the process type is missing.
