  SAP Error Message:
  WS507 - Material offset account key not maintained for settlement doc type &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the settlement process (e.g., settlement of production orders, process orders, or other cost objects) when the system tries to post accounting entries but cannot find the Material Offset Account Key assigned for the settlement document type in the configuration.
  
  The Material Offset Account Key is used to determine the G/L accounts for the offsetting entries related to material postings during settlement.
  If this key is not maintained for the settlement document type, the system does not know which account to post the offsetting material costs to, hence the error.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During settlement of orders or WBS elements when the system tries to post material consumption or production variances.
  Specifically, when the settlement document type is used but the corresponding material offset account key is missing in configuration.

  Maintain Account Key in OBYC:
