3252559 - Error CJ052 'WBS element XXX is not a billing element' in app Manage Real-Time Revenue Recognition Issues

Error message 'WBS Element XXX is not a Billing Element' (CJ052) is displayed inside app 'Manage Real-Time Revenue Recognition Issues'.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

It is possible that during the posting of Journal Entries to WBS Elements, some G/L Account used in that document was defined in Event-Based Revenue Recognition (EBRR) sources as a Revenue source.

In this case, EBRR would raise error message CJ052 because it is not allowed to post Billing on non-billing WBS Elements.

Another reason for this error is that the G/L Account was correctly defined in EBRR source 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.

At first, verify which EBRR source is determined. Such information can be found using app 'Event-Based Revenue Recognition - Projects', as follows:

1. Search for the Project;
2. Choose Revalue > Simulate > Explain Simulation;
3. The relevant EBRR source is displayed under List of applied assignment rules;
4. Review if the EBRR source is Revenue Source.

In case the EBRR Source is different, check whether the Cost Element Category is 11 - Revenues. This information can be found in SSCUI 102530 - Maintain Settings for Event-Based Revenue Recognition.

If one of the above conditions is met, consider changing the EBRR configuration source or change the Cost Element Category. Afterwards, it is possible to use the Reprocess feature in app 'Manage Real-Time Revenue Recognition Issues'. With that, the error should not be reproduced.
