Hi Dharmveer,

In my experience, there's typically several reasons why you get this message.

(1) The obvious reason: No cost or balance on the order for current month. To eliminate this reason from your analysys, open the order via KO03. Select menu "Extras" => "Order Balance". If you see a balance, then go to (2). if no balance, then you don't have a balance on the order to settle

(2) There's an order balance? Now verify that the balance is in the current month. Run report KOB1.

Enter your order and leave the cost element fields blank. Enter the posting period range that represent the current period. Execute. Look at the actual column. Any balance at the bottom? If so, then note the cost element that has the cost. If not, then it is likely that your transactional posting was to a future period, but you try to settle in current period.

(3) You have looked at report in (2) and there's a balance for the order. You also noted the cost elements used. Questions: What is the order type for this order? is it a WIP order? Does it required work in process calculations before it can be settled? What is the settlement profile? Does that settlement rule stipulate full settlement by %, equivalent # or amount, etc? If you share some more information, I think we can help.

Thanks,
