  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS192 - Settlement doc type for settlement doc list not maintained for doc &1 ?

    The SAP error message:

    WS192: Settlement doc type for settlement doc list not maintained for doc &1


    Cause:

    This error occurs during the settlement process in SAP when the system tries to create or process a settlement document but cannot find a valid settlement document type maintained for the original document type of the settlement document list. Essentially, the system expects a mapping between the original document type and the settlement document type, but this mapping is missing or not maintained in the configuration.


    Explanation:

    • In SAP Controlling (CO) settlement, when you settle costs from a sender object (like a cost center, internal order, WBS element, etc.), the system creates settlement documents.
    • Each original document type (e.g., the document type of the sender document) must have a corresponding settlement document type defined.
    • This mapping is maintained in the IMG under the settlement settings.
    • If this mapping is missing, SAP cannot determine which document type to use for the settlement document, resulting in the WS192 error.

    Solution:

    1. Check and Maintain Settlement Document Type Mapping:

      • Go to SAP IMG (Implementation Guide):

        SPRO -> Controlling -> Internal Orders -> Settle Internal Orders -> Define Settlement Document Types

        or for other sender objects:

        SPRO -> Controlling -> Cost Center Accounting -> Actual Postings -> Settlement -> Define Settlement Document Types
      • Verify that the settlement document type is maintained for the original document type of the settlement document list.

      • If missing, maintain the appropriate settlement document type for the original document type.

    2. Verify Document Types:

      • Identify the original document type causing the error (the placeholder &1 in the message will show the document number or type).
      • Check the document type of the original posting.
      • Ensure that the settlement document type is assigned to this original document type.
    3. Check Settlement Profile:

      • Sometimes, the settlement profile used in the sender object may influence the document types.
      • Verify the settlement profile settings and ensure they are consistent.
    4. Re-run the Settlement:

      • After maintaining the correct document type mapping, re-run the settlement process.

    Additional Information:

    • This error is common when custom document types are used or when new document types are introduced without updating the settlement configuration.
    • The settlement document type controls the posting behavior of the settlement document, including number ranges, posting keys, and other document attributes.
    • Always ensure that the document types used in your business processes are properly configured in the settlement settings.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
