  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_PRX221: Purchasing-sided default data are not allowed for settl. process type &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign or maintain purchasing-sided default data (such as default values for purchasing documents) for a settlement process type that does not allow such defaults. In SAP, certain settlement process types are designed to work without purchasing-sided default data because the settlement process is controlled differently or the data is derived from other sources.
  For example, settlement process types related to internal orders, WBS elements, or other controlling objects may restrict the use of purchasing defaults to avoid inconsistencies.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Settlement Process Type: This is a configuration in SAP that defines how costs are settled from one object to another (e.g., from a purchase order to a cost center).
  Purchasing-sided Default Data: These are default values or settings maintained on the purchasing side (e.g., default account assignment, default settlement rules).
  The system checks if the settlement process type allows such defaults. If not, it throws this error to prevent incorrect or unsupported configuration.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Settlement Process Type:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Conditions ? Define Settlement Process Types.
  Verify the settlement process type you are using.
  
  
  
  Review Purchasing-sided Default Data:
  
  Check if you are trying to maintain purchasing defaults for this settlement process type.
  If the settlement process type does not allow purchasing defaults, you should remove or avoid maintaining these defaults.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you need purchasing defaults, consider using a different settlement process type that supports them.
  Alternatively, adjust your business process to comply with the allowed settlement process types.

  Typical Scenario:
  
  When creating or changing purchasing documents linked to a settlement process type that restricts purchasing defaults.
  When configuring settlement rules for internal orders or projects.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Attempt to maintain purchasing-sided default data for a settlement process type that does not permit it.
  Solution: Remove purchasing defaults for that settlement process type or use a settlement process type that allows such defaults.
  Check: Settlement process type configuration and purchasing default data maintenance.
