• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS654 - Settlement document type &1 does not have an item partner schema ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS654: Settlement document type &1 does not have an item partner schema
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the settlement process in SAP (typically in CO-PA or internal order settlement) when the system tries to create a settlement document but cannot find an assigned item partner schema for the specified settlement document type.
  
  The settlement document type controls how the settlement document is posted.
  The item partner schema defines how partner information (such as customer, vendor, or other business partners) is transferred from the original document to the settlement document items.
  If the settlement document type does not have an item partner schema assigned, the system cannot determine how to handle partner data during settlement, leading to this error.
  
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  During settlement of internal orders, WBS elements, or other CO objects.
  When the system tries to create FI documents for settlement and partner data is required.
  In the configuration of settlement document types in transaction OKO7 or related IMG nodes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign an Item Partner Schema to the Settlement Document Type:
  
  Go to transaction OKO7 (or navigate via IMG:
  
  Controlling ? Internal Orders ? Settle ? Define Settlement Document Types).
  Select the settlement document type mentioned in the error message (the placeholder &1 will be replaced by the actual document type).
  Check if an Item Partner Schema is assigned.
  If not assigned, assign the appropriate item partner schema that fits your business process.
  
  
  
  Verify Partner Schema Configuration:
  
  Partner schemas are defined in transaction OKO6.
  Ensure that the partner schema assigned to the settlement document type is correctly configured to map the required partner data.
  
  
  
  Check Settlement Profile:
  
  Sometimes, the settlement profile (transaction KO88 or IMG path) may influence the document type used.
  Verify that the settlement profile uses the correct settlement document type.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After assigning the item partner schema, re-run the settlement.
  The error should no longer occur if the partner schema is correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  
  Item Partner Schema:
  
  Defines how partner data is copied from the original document to the settlement document. It controls partner determination at the item level.
  
  
  Settlement Document Type:
  
  Controls the document type used for posting settlement documents in FI.
  
  
  Common Transactions:
  
  OKO7: Define Settlement Document Types
  OKO6: Define Partner Schemas
  KO88: Execute Settlement
