Message text: Check authorization objects for Settlement Management
You have activated an additional authorization check (release to
Financial Accounting) for Settlement Management. This may require some
postprocessing of the authorization management.
The system also checks whether you are authorized to release settlement
management documents to Financial Accounting. If you do not have this
authorization, the system rejects the release to Financial Accounting.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
Check the authorization objects W_WBRK_FKA and W_WBRK_ORG and adapt them
to include the Release (43) activity in the user profile. Otherwise the
user will not be able to transfer settlement management documents to
Financial Accounting.

Cause:
The error message WS636 typically occurs when a user tries to perform a settlement-related activity in SAP (such as executing a settlement run, posting settlement documents, or accessing settlement management functions) but lacks the necessary authorizations. Settlement Management in SAP involves controlling the settlement of costs or revenues from one cost object to another (e.g., from internal orders, WBS elements, or production orders to cost centers, profitability segments, etc.).
The system checks specific authorization objects related to Settlement Management, and if the user does not have the required permissions, the system issues the WS636 message.

Notes:
WS636 error arises due to missing or insufficient authorizations for Settlement Management activities. The solution involves analyzing the missing authorization objects (using SU53 or ST01), updating user roles with the required authorizations (especially objects like C_SAS_SOBJ, C_SAS_RUN, etc.), and then testing the settlement process again.
