Symptom

There's error message CJ052 'WBS element xxxxx is not a billing element' in APP Manage Real-Time Revenue Recognition Issues

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Cause

It is possible that during posting of journal entries to WBS element, some G/L accounts used in that document was defined in EBRR sources as a Revenue source.
In that case EBRR would raise such error message since it is not allowed to post billing on non-billing WBS.

One another reason maybe that G/L accounts was correctly defined in EBRR sources as a Cost source,
however, the cost element defined for that source belongs to cost element category 11 - Revenues.
It shall be rather cost element category 1 - Primary costs/cost-reducing revenues.

Search Project, choose 'revalue'->'Simulate'->'Explain Simulation', you can find relevant EBRR source under 'List of applied assignment rules'.

You can check above information in configuration 'Maintain Settings for Event-Based Revenue Recognition', SSCUI 102530.

If one of the above conditions is met, you need to consider change the EBRR configuration source or change a cost element.
Afterwards, you can choose 'Reprocess' in APP Manage Real-Time Revenue Recognition Issues, error should not exist anymore.
