    Understanding the Error WS350

    • Message Class: WS (Settlement)
    • Message Number: 350
    • Context: Appears during the execution of settlement reports or when creating settlement document lists.
    • Typical Scenario: When you run settlement programs (e.g., RKOSET00 or related reports) to settle cost objects (like cost centers, internal orders, WBS elements) to receivers, the system tries to create settlement documents and lists. If something goes wrong, WS350 may be triggered.

    Possible Causes

    1. Settlement Document Creation Issues:

      • The system is unable to create or release the settlement document list due to missing or inconsistent data.
      • The settlement run might have incomplete or incorrect settlement rules or receiver assignments.
    2. Authorization Problems:

      • The user running the settlement report may lack the necessary authorizations to create or release settlement documents.
    3. Configuration Issues:

      • Incorrect or incomplete configuration in settlement profiles or settlement rules.
      • Missing or incorrect posting periods or fiscal year variants.
    4. Technical Issues:

      • Locking problems or database inconsistencies.
      • Background job errors or dump during the settlement run.
    5. Missing or Incorrect Master Data:

      • Cost objects (orders, WBS elements) might be closed or have invalid status.
      • Receiver master data (cost centers, GL accounts) might be incorrect or blocked.

    How to Analyze and Solve WS350

    5. Check Posting Periods:

      • Verify that the posting periods are open for the relevant company codes and fiscal years.
    6. Run Settlement in Test Mode:

      • Run the settlement report in test mode to identify errors without posting documents.
    7. Review SAP Notes and Documentation:

      • Common SAP Notes may provide patches or corrections.
    8. Technical Checks:
