• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS615 - No message determination schema is entered in settlement document type &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WS615 No message determination schema is entered in settlement document type &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the settlement document type you are using does not have a message determination schema assigned to it. In SAP, message determination schemas control how messages (such as output messages, printouts, or electronic documents) are generated and processed for various document types.
  When you try to settle a document (e.g., a cost center settlement, internal order settlement, or any other settlement process), the system looks for a message determination schema linked to the settlement document type. If none is assigned, the system cannot determine how to handle output messages, resulting in this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to assign a message determination schema to the settlement document type in the system configuration.
  Steps to fix:
  
  
  Identify the settlement document type causing the error (the placeholder &1 in the message will show the document type).
  
  
  Assign a message determination schema to this document type:
  
  
  Go to SAP IMG (Implementation Guide):
  
  SPRO ?
  
  Controlling ?
  
  Internal Orders or Cost Center Accounting (depending on your scenario) ?
  
  Settlement ?
  
  Define Settlement Document Types ?
  
  Select the relevant settlement document type.
  
  
  Alternatively, for message determination, the path might be:
  
  SPRO ?
  
  Controlling ?
  
  Internal Orders ?
  
  Settlement ?
  
  Assign Message Determination Schema to Settlement Document Type
  
  
  
  
  Assign the appropriate message determination schema (e.g., a schema that controls output messages for settlement documents).
  
  
  Save and transport the changes if necessary.
  
  
  Test the settlement process again to confirm the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Message Determination Schema:
  
  This schema defines which output messages are triggered for a particular document type. It controls the output medium (print, email, EDI, etc.) and the timing of message processing.
  
  
  Settlement Document Types:
  
  These are document types used in settlement processes in Controlling (CO) module, such as settlements of internal orders, cost centers, projects, etc.
  
  
  Transaction Codes:  
  
  OKO7 - Define Settlement Document Types  
  SPRO - Access to IMG for configuration  
  KO88 - Execute settlement for internal orders (where the error might occur)
  
  
  
  Common Scenario:
  
  When a new settlement document type is created or customized, the message determination schema assignment might be missed, causing this error during settlement execution.
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: No message determination schema assigned to the settlement document type.
  Solution: Assign a message determination schema to the settlement document type via configuration.
  Result: The system can determine how to handle output messages during settlement, preventing the WS615 error.
  
  
  If you need the exact IMG path or further assistance with configuration, please specify your SAP module (e.g., CO-OM-OPA for internal orders) or the settlement scenario.
