• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_RRLE004 - No documents (settlement document list recipient) were selected ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WS_RRLE004 No documents (settlement document list recipient) were selected
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs during the Settlement process in SAP, especially when dealing with cost object settlement (e.g., settlements from internal orders, WBS elements, production orders, etc.). The system is trying to generate a settlement document list for a recipient (such as a cost center, asset, profitability segment, etc.), but no settlement documents are found or selected for that recipient.
  Common causes include:
  
  No actual costs or quantities posted to the sender object during the settlement period.
  The settlement rule or receiver is not correctly maintained or assigned.
  The settlement period or selection criteria do not include any documents.
  The sender object has already been settled fully, so no open costs remain.
  The settlement profile or parameters exclude certain documents or recipients.
  The settlement run or program selection parameters are too restrictive.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Sender Object:
  
  Verify that the sender object (e.g., internal order, WBS element) has actual postings (costs, quantities) in the settlement period.
  Use transaction codes like KOB1 (Order Actual Line Items) or CJI3 (WBS Element Actual Line Items) to confirm postings.
  
  
  
  Review Settlement Rule:
  
  Check the settlement rule assigned to the sender object (transaction KO02 for orders, CJ02 for WBS elements).
  Ensure that the receiver(s) are correctly defined and active.
  Confirm that the settlement rule covers the relevant cost elements and periods.
  
  
  
  Check Settlement Period and Selection Criteria:
  
  Make sure the settlement period is correct and includes the postings.
  Review the selection parameters in the settlement program (e.g., KO88, CJ88) to ensure they are not excluding documents.
  
  
  
  Verify Settlement Profile and Parameters:
  
  Check the settlement profile settings to ensure no filters or restrictions prevent document selection.
  Confirm that the settlement profile allows settlement to the intended receiver.
  
  
  
  Run Settlement Simulation:
  
  Run a settlement simulation (e.g., in KO88 with simulation mode) to see if any documents are selected.
  This can help identify if the problem is with document selection or posting.
  
  
  
  Check for Full Settlement:
  
  If the sender object has already been fully settled, no documents will be available.
  Verify the settlement history and balances.
  
  
  
  Review SAP Notes and Documentation:
  
  Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address known issues related to settlement document selection.

  Summary:

The root cause is usually missing or incorrect postings, settlement rules, or selection parameters. By verifying postings, settlement rules, and selection criteria, you can resolve the issue and successfully perform the settlement.
