  Error Message
  WS224: No settlement process type was entered
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during the settlement process in SAP Controlling (CO) when the system expects a settlement process type but none has been specified. The settlement process type defines how costs are settled from a sender object (like a cost center, internal order, or project) to receiver objects (like cost centers, orders, assets, etc.).
  Common causes include:
  
  The settlement rule for the sender object does not have a settlement process type assigned.
  The settlement profile or settlement parameters are incomplete or missing.
  The settlement run is initiated without specifying the settlement process type.
  The sender object master data (e.g., internal order, WBS element) is not properly maintained with settlement information.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Settlement Rule:
  
  Go to the sender object (e.g., internal order, WBS element).
  Verify that the settlement rule is maintained correctly.
  Ensure that the settlement process type is assigned in the settlement rule.
  Transaction codes:
  
  For Internal Orders: KO02 (Change Order) ? Settlement rule tab.
  For WBS Elements: CJ02 (Change WBS Element) ? Settlement tab.
  
  
  
  
  
  Maintain Settlement Profile:
  
  Check the settlement profile assigned to the sender object.
  Ensure that the settlement profile includes the correct settlement process type.
  Transaction code: OKO7 (Maintain Settlement Profiles).
  
  
  
  Specify Settlement Process Type during Settlement Run:
  
  When executing the settlement run (e.g., KO88 for internal orders), ensure that the settlement process type is entered if required.
  If the system expects it and it is missing, enter the appropriate process type.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify that the settlement process types are configured correctly in IMG.

  Re-run Settlement:
  
  After correcting the settlement rule or process type, re-run the settlement.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  Settlement Process Type controls how the system processes the settlement, including the posting rules and receiver types.
  Common settlement process types include:
  
  K: Settlement to Cost Centers
  A: Settlement to Assets
  P: Settlement to Projects
  
  
  If multiple settlement rules exist, each must have a valid settlement process type.
  This error is typical when new sender objects are created but settlement rules are not fully maintained.
