  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WS749 - Only settlement process types with entry category "Material-Related" allowed
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the settlement process in SAP when you try to settle a cost object (like a production order, process order, or internal order) using a settlement rule or settlement profile that is not configured for the correct entry category.
  
  Entry Category defines the type of settlement receiver allowed (e.g., material, cost center, asset, etc.).
  The error indicates that the settlement process type you are using requires the settlement receiver to have an entry category "Material-Related" (i.e., the receiver must be a material master or related to material).
  If you attempt to settle to a receiver that is not material-related (e.g., a cost center or asset), or if the settlement profile/process type is not set up correctly, this error will occur.
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
