• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS058 - Settl doc type for settl doc list & of document & is of wrong category ?

  The SAP error message:
  WS058: Settl doc type for settl doc list & of document & is of wrong category
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the processing of settlement documents in SAP, typically in the context of Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) or Settlement Management. The system expects the settlement document type to belong to a specific category, but the document type assigned to the settlement document list or the referenced document does not match the expected category.
  In other words, the settlement document type assigned to the settlement document list or the referenced document is incorrect or inconsistent with the expected document category for the settlement process.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Settlement documents in SAP are categorized by document types that define their processing rules.
  Each settlement document type is assigned a category (e.g., invoice, credit memo, payment, etc.).
  When the system processes a settlement document list, it checks if the document types of the documents involved belong to the correct category.
  If a document type does not belong to the expected category, the system throws the WS058 error.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Incorrect configuration of document types in transaction code OBA7 (Document Types for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable).
  Using a document type for settlement that is meant for a different category (e.g., using an invoice document type where a payment document type is expected).
  Custom document types created but not properly assigned to the correct category.
  Data inconsistencies or incorrect document type assignment in the settlement document list.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction OBA7 (for FI-CA) or the relevant IMG node for your module.
  Verify the document types used for settlement documents.
  Ensure that the document type assigned to the settlement document list and the referenced documents belong to the correct category expected by the settlement process.
  
  
  
  Correct Document Type Assignment:
  
  If a custom document type is used, ensure it is assigned to the correct category.
  Change the document type in the settlement document list or the referenced document to one that belongs to the correct category.
  
  
  
  Review Settlement Document List:
  
  Check the documents included in the settlement document list.
  Identify any document with an incorrect document type.
  Correct the document type or exclude the document from the settlement list.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any SAP Notes related to WS058 for your SAP version.
  Sometimes, patches or corrections are provided by SAP.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After corrections, reprocess the settlement to verify that the error no longer occurs.
