• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS770 - Settlement relevance may not be restricted on one side ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WS770 - Settlement relevance may not be restricted on one side
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the settlement process in SAP (typically in Controlling - CO module) when the settlement rule or the settlement profile is set up incorrectly. Specifically, it happens if the settlement relevance is restricted on only one side of the settlement rule (either sender or receiver), which is not allowed.
  In other words, the system expects that if settlement relevance is restricted, it must be consistent on both sides (sender and receiver). Having settlement relevance restricted on only one side leads to this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Settlement relevance controls whether a cost element or cost object is considered for settlement.
  When defining settlement rules or profiles, the system requires that the settlement relevance be either unrestricted on both sides or restricted on both sides.
  If one side is restricted and the other is not, the system cannot process the settlement correctly, hence
