  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_IV260 - Settlement process type for the invoice receipt is not defined ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WZRE_IV260: Settlement process type for the invoice receipt is not defined


    Cause:

    This error occurs during the invoice verification or invoice receipt process in SAP when the system tries to determine the settlement process type but cannot find a valid settlement process type assigned or configured for the invoice receipt.

    Specifically, the system expects a settlement process type to be defined for the invoice receipt document to know how to handle the settlement (e.g., to which cost objects or orders the invoice should be settled). If this configuration is missing or incomplete, the system throws this error.


    When does it occur?

    • During the posting of an invoice receipt (MIRO transaction or related processes).
    • When the system tries to settle the invoice to a cost object, order, or project but cannot find the settlement process type.
    • Often related to integration between Materials Management (MM) and Controlling (CO) or Project System (PS).

    Solution:

    1. Check Settlement Process Type Configuration:

      • Go to SPRO ? Controlling ? Internal Orders ? Settlement ? Define Settlement Types.
      • Verify that the settlement process type relevant for the invoice receipt is defined.
      • If missing, create or assign the appropriate settlement process type.
    2. Assign Settlement Process Type to the Relevant Object:

      • For example, if the invoice is related to an internal order, check the internal order master data:
        • Transaction KO02 (Change Order) ? Check the settlement rule.
        • Ensure that the settlement rule has a valid settlement process type assigned.
      • For projects (PS), check the settlement profile and rules.
    3. Check Configuration for Invoice Receipt Settlement:

      • In some cases, the settlement process type is determined by the movement type or document type.
      • Verify the configuration in MM and CO integration settings.
    4. Review Document Type and Movement Type Settings:

      • Sometimes, the document type or movement type used in the invoice receipt does not have a settlement process type assigned.
      • Check customizing for document types and movement types.
    5. Consult SAP Notes:

      • There might be SAP Notes related to this error depending on your SAP version and scenario.

    Additional Information:

    • Settlement Process Type controls how costs are settled from one object to another (e.g., from an internal order to a cost center).
    • This error is common in scenarios where invoice receipts are linked to internal orders, projects, or other CO objects requiring settlement.
    • Proper configuration ensures that costs are correctly allocated and financial postings are accurate.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error Message WZRE_IV260: Settlement process type for the invoice receipt is not defined
    Cause Missing or incorrect settlement process type configuration for invoice receipt
    Solution Define and assign the correct settlement process type in CO configuration and master data
    Transactions to Check SPRO (settlement types), KO02 (internal order), MIRO (invoice receipt)
