  SAP Error Message:
  WS_RRLE019: Cancellation settl. doc. list type &1 has the same settl. doc. cat. as &2
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the configuration or processing of settlement document lists in SAP, specifically when defining or using settlement document list types.
  
  The system detects that the cancellation settlement document list type (&1) has been assigned the same settlement document category as the original settlement document list type (&2).
  In SAP, the cancellation document list type must have a different settlement document category than the original document list type to distinguish between original and cancellation documents.
  Having the same category for both leads to ambiguity and is not allowed by the system.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  Settlement Document List Type: This is a configuration that groups settlement documents for processing.
  Settlement Document Category: This categorizes the settlement documents, e.g., original, cancellation, credit memo, etc.
  When you define a cancellation document list type, it must be clearly differentiated from the original document list type by having a different category.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the configuration of settlement document list types:
  
  Go to the IMG path:
  
  SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Incoming Invoices/Credit Memos -> Maintain Settlement Document List Types
  
  
  
  Verify the settlement document categories assigned:
  
  Identify the original settlement document list type and its category.
  Identify the cancellation settlement document list type and its category.
  
  
  
  Correct the cancellation document list type category:
  
  Change the cancellation settlement document list type to have a different settlement document category than the original.
  For example, if the original has category 'A', the cancellation should have category 'B' or any other valid category different from 'A'.
  
  
  
  Save and test the configuration:
  
  After making the changes, save the configuration.
  Retry the process that triggered the error to confirm it is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is typically encountered during:
  
  Customizing/configuration of settlement document processing.
  Development or enhancement involving settlement document list types.
  
  
  Proper differentiation between original and cancellation document categories is crucial for correct document processing and reporting.
