• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS303 - Settlement document type & not relevant for statistics (not updated) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WS303 - Settlement document type & not relevant for statistics (not updated)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the settlement process in SAP when the system tries to create or update a settlement document, but the settlement document type assigned is not marked as relevant for statistics in the system configuration.
  In SAP, settlement documents can be configured with different document types, and each document type has specific settings, including whether it is relevant for statistical postings or not. If the document type used for settlement is not flagged as relevant for statistics, the system will not update the settlement document accordingly, leading to this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Settlement document types are defined in transaction code OBBH (or via IMG path:
  
  Financial Accounting (New) ? Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) ? Document ? Document Types ? Define Document Types for Settlement).
  Each document type has a checkbox or indicator for "Relevant for Statistics".
  If this indicator is not set, the system treats the document type as not relevant for statistical postings.
  When the settlement process tries to post statistical data using this document type, it fails and throws WS303.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Settlement Document Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction OBBH.
  Find the settlement document type that is causing the error.
  Verify if the "Relevant for Statistics" checkbox is selected.
  
  
  
  Activate the "Relevant for Statistics" Indicator:
  
  If it is not selected, select the checkbox to make the document type relevant for statistics.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Settlement Process:
  
  After correcting the document type, re-execute the settlement.
  The system should now process the settlement document without the WS303 error.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common in Controlling (CO) module, especially during internal order settlement, cost center settlement, or project system settlement.
  The document type used for settlement documents must be consistent with the business process and configured properly.
  If you are unsure which document type is used, check the settlement profile or the settlement rule configuration.
  Sometimes, custom document types are created and the "Relevant for Statistics" flag is missed during configuration.
