• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS392 - 'Only Post Accruals Conditions' not compatible w/ business volume posting ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS392 - "Only Post Accruals Conditions" not compatible with business volume posting
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Controlling (CO-PA or Cost Object Controlling) when you try to post a business volume (e.g., revenue or quantity) to a condition type that is configured as an accruals condition. 
  
  Accruals conditions are meant for posting accruals (typically financial postings related to costs or revenues that are recognized but not yet realized).
  Business volume postings represent actual business transactions like sales quantities or revenues.
  The system does not allow posting business volume to condition types that are flagged as "Only Post Accruals Conditions" because these condition types are designed exclusively for accrual postings, not for actual business volume postings.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP, condition types can be configured with specific attributes in the pricing or CO-PA condition master data.
  The flag "Only Post Accruals Conditions" (or similar wording) indicates that the condition type is restricted to accrual postings.
  When a posting attempt is made that conflicts with this setting (e.g., posting business volume to an accrual-only condition), SAP throws the WS392 error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the condition type configuration:
  
  Go to transaction KE42 (Change Condition Type) or V/06 (Pricing Condition Types) depending on your module.
  Verify if the condition type is marked as "Only Post Accruals Conditions" or has a similar flag.
  
  
  
  Adjust the condition type settings:
  
  If the condition type should allow business volume postings, remove the "Only Post Accruals" flag.
  If the condition type is correctly set as accrual-only, then do not post business volume to it.
  
  
  
  Review the posting logic:
  
  Ensure that the postings are directed to the correct condition types.
  For business volume postings, use condition types configured for business volume.
  For accrual postings, use condition types flagged for accruals.
  
  
  
  Check the document or interface posting the data:
  
  If the posting is coming from an interface or custom program, verify that the correct condition types are used.
  Correct the mapping or logic to avoid posting business volume to accrual-only condition types.

  SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to CO-PA condition types and accrual postings.
  Review SAP Help Portal documentation on CO-PA condition types and their attributes.
  
  
  
  Business Context:
  
  Accrual conditions are often used in period-end closing to recognize revenues or costs that have been incurred but not yet invoiced or realized.
  Business volume conditions represent actual sales or quantities and are used for profitability analysis.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Error WS392 occurs because a business volume posting is attempted on a condition type configured for accrual postings only.
  Fix: Either change the condition type configuration to allow business volume postings or post business volume only to appropriate condition types.
  Always ensure the posting logic aligns with the condition type settings to avoid this error.
  
  
  If you need help identifying the exact condition type or adjusting the configuration, please provide the condition type and module context (e.g., CO-PA, SD Pricing), and I can guide you further.
