  SAP Error Message:
  WS067 - Settlement document type & only allowed for '&'
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the settlement process in SAP (e.g., when settling costs from a cost object to a receiver) because the settlement document type specified is not valid or not allowed for the particular settlement scenario or object type.
  Specifically, the system expects a certain settlement document type (e.g., 'RE' for revenue, 'SA' for settlement document) but finds a different or incorrect document type. The placeholder '&' in the message is replaced by the expected or allowed document type(s).
  Common causes include:
  
  Incorrect or missing settlement document type configuration in the settlement profile.
  The settlement document type assigned to the cost object or settlement rule is not compatible with the settlement receiver.
  Customizing settings for settlement document types are incomplete or inconsistent.
  Attempting to settle a cost object that requires a specific document type, but the system finds another.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Settlement Profile Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction OKO7 (or SPRO path: Controlling ? Cost Object Controlling ? Product Cost Controlling ? Product Cost by Period ? Settlement ? Define Settlement Profiles).
  Verify the settlement profile assigned to the cost object.
  Ensure the settlement document type is correctly maintained and allowed for the settlement scenario.
  
  
  
  Verify Settlement Document Type in Customizing:
  
  Check the document types allowed for settlement in transaction OKEQ or via SPRO path:
  
  Controlling ? Cost Object Controlling ? Product Cost Controlling ? Product Cost by Period ? Settlement ? Define Settlement Document Types.
  
  
  Confirm that the document type used is valid for the cost object and receiver.
  
  
  
  Check Settlement Rule:
  
  Review the settlement rule assigned to the cost object.
  Ensure the receiver and settlement method are correctly defined and compatible with the settlement document type.
  
  
  
  Adjust or Correct Document Type:
  
  If the document type is incorrect, change it to the allowed one.
  If missing, add the correct document type in the settlement profile or customizing.
  
  
  
  Re-run Settlement:
  
  After corrections, re-execute the settlement process.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Settlement document types control how the system posts settlement entries and which document types are used in FI.
  Common settlement document types include:
  
  RE - Revenue document
  SA - Settlement document
  AB - Accounting document
  
  
  The exact allowed document types depend on the controlling area and company code configuration.
  This error is often encountered in Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC) or Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA) settlements.
  Always ensure consistency between controlling and financial accounting document types.
