• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_EXT_POST013 - Item &1 and main item &2 are statistical ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_EXT_POST013: Item &1 and main item &2 are statistical
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the posting of a document (usually in Financial Accounting or Controlling) when both the main item and the sub-item involved in the transaction are marked as statistical items. In SAP, statistical items are used for reporting or informational purposes only and do not affect the actual accounting balances.
  
  Statistical items are typically used in internal orders, cost centers, or other controlling objects to track values without impacting the ledger.
  The system does not allow posting transactions where both the main and sub-items are statistical because such postings would not have any real financial impact and are considered invalid.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  The main item (&2) is the primary line item in the document.
  The item (&1) is a secondary or related item.
  Both being statistical means neither affects actual accounting balances.
  SAP requires at least one of the items in a posting to be a real (non-statistical) item to ensure the transaction has financial impact.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the item categories of both the main and sub-items in the document.
  Ensure that at least one of the items is a real (non-statistical) item:
  
  Change the item category of either the main or the sub-item from statistical to real.
  This might involve adjusting the master data or the document entry.
  
  
  If the posting is intended to be statistical only, reconsider the business process or use appropriate statistical postings that do not require both items to be non-statistical.
  Review the configuration of statistical items in the controlling area or document type to ensure they are used correctly.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Statistical postings are common in Controlling (CO) module, especially with internal orders, cost centers, and profit centers.
  Statistical items do not update the General Ledger but are used for internal reporting.
  This error helps prevent postings that would have no effect on financial statements.
  Check transaction codes like FB50, FB60, or controlling transactions where statistical postings are involved.
  Review SAP Notes or documentation related to statistical postings and item categories.
