• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/FEE070 - 'Rate Required' and 'Stop Settlement on Null' cannot be selected together ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/FEE070 with the description "Rate Required" and "Stop Settlement on Null" cannot be selected together typically occurs in the context of the SAP Convergent Charging (SAP CC) or SAP Convergent Invoicing (SAP CI) modules. This error indicates a conflict in the configuration settings related to the handling of rates and settlement processes.
  Cause:
  
  
  Configuration Conflict: The error arises when both the "Rate Required" and "Stop Settlement on Null" options are enabled in the configuration. 
  
  Rate Required: This setting indicates that a rate must be defined for the service or product being charged.
  Stop Settlement on Null: This setting indicates that the settlement process should be halted if there is no value (null) to settle.
  
  
  
  Business Logic: The combination of these two settings is logically inconsistent. If a rate is required, it implies that there should be a value to settle. Therefore, stopping the settlement process when there is no value contradicts the requirement for a rate.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the configuration settings in the SAP system:
  
  
  Access Configuration: Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP where these settings are defined. This is typically found in the SAP Convergent Charging or Invoicing configuration.
  
  
  Modify Settings:
  
  Option 1: If you want to keep the "Rate Required" setting, you should disable the "Stop Settlement on Null" option.
  Option 2: If you want to keep the "Stop Settlement on Null" option, you should disable the "Rate Required" setting.
  
  
  
  Test Changes: After making the necessary changes, test the settlement process to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the business logic aligns with your requirements.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or specific SAP documentation for detailed information on configuration settings related to charging and invoicing.
  Support: If you continue to experience issues or if the configuration changes do not resolve the error, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in Convergent Charging or Invoicing.
  Best Practices: Ensure that your configuration aligns with your business processes and that all stakeholders are aware of the implications of changing these settings.
  
  By carefully reviewing and adjusting the configuration settings, you should be able to resolve the error message and proceed with your settlement processes in SAP.
