• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_EXT_POST014 - Neither item &1 nor main item &2 is statistical ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_EXT_POST014: Neither item &1 nor main item &2 is statistical
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the posting of a statistical order settlement or during the processing of internal orders or cost objects when the system expects either the main order/item or the statistical order/item to be marked as statistical but finds that neither is.
  
  In SAP Controlling (CO), statistical orders/items are used to collect costs without settlement, meaning they do not post actual financial postings but are used for reporting or allocation purposes.
  The system expects at least one of the involved orders/items (main or statistical) to be flagged as statistical to process the settlement or posting correctly.
  If neither the main order/item nor the statistical order/item is flagged as statistical, the system cannot determine how to handle the posting, resulting in this error.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During settlement of internal orders or cost objects.
  When posting costs or allocations involving statistical orders/items.
  When the system tries to post to a statistical order/item but the order/item is not flagged as statistical.
  When the configuration or master data setup for orders/items is inconsistent.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Order/Item Master Data:
  
  Go to the order master data (transaction KO02 for internal orders).
  Verify if the order/item flagged as statistical is correctly set.
  For statistical orders, the indicator "Statistical order" or "Statistical settlement" should be set.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Statistical Indicator:
  
  If the order/item is supposed to be statistical, set the statistical indicator.
  If it is not supposed to be statistical, adjust the posting or settlement logic accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Settlement Rules:
  
  Check the settlement rules for the order.
  Ensure that the settlement receiver (statistical order/item) is correctly defined and flagged as statistical if required.
  
  
  
  Check Posting Logic:
  
  Review the posting document or the process triggering the posting.
  Ensure that the cost objects involved are correctly classified.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  In some cases, the error may be due to incorrect configuration in controlling settings.
  Verify the settings for statistical orders and settlement profiles.

  Concepts:
  
  Statistical Orders: Used for cost collection without actual postings.
  Settlement: Process of transferring costs from orders to receivers.
  Main Item vs Statistical Item: Main item posts actual costs; statistical item is for reporting or allocation.
