Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs

[former_member219500]

Hi..every one

When i was running the kks2 i am facing the error message

Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs for 000050583861

Message No. KV151

Diagnosis

For the calculation of variances with 000050583861 , the target costs in target cost version 0 are missing for the following reasons:

• There were no planned costs and/or planned quantities (see earlier message).

• The quantities on which the planned costs were based are zero in the time period concerned. This may be caused by the fact that no goods receipt for a cost object (such as a product cost collector or production order) has been entered.

This results in target costs of zero.

System Response

Because no target costs were calculated, the difference between the

planned and actual costs could not be broken down into variance categories. The difference is updated as a remaining variance.

Thanks and regards

Hello P.Ramakrishna,

For variance calculation , the system checks field AFPO-LTRMI (the

actual date of goods delivery) and AUFK-IDAT2 for (technical completed)

Then system checks customizing settings for target cost version 0.

In your system, actual cost should be compared to current standard cost

estimate (valid on actual date of goods delivery, AFPO-LTRMI)

If there is no 'current standard cost estimate' for the material on this

date, target costs cannot be calculated and system issues error

messages KV154 / KV151.

It is system logic to check standard cost estimate valid on actual date

of goods delivery. So you have to make sure that a standard cost

estimate exists before goods delivery. The system needs the line items

of the cost estimate for detailed variance calculation.

You can set the error messages to warning messages even to "non display"

message by following the instructions of note 152210. Also, look at the

instructions of note 107482.Then orders can be settled.

All variances will go into the "remaining variances".

Target cost are calculated and saved with the order during variance

calculation. For reports, it can be that target costs are determined

dynamically using standard cost estimate in material master.

Best regards,

Jason

Hello Jason, I just ran KKS5 and had code 151 all over the place. I checked the production orders and some a lot of the orders have a Status of TECO, others will have REL and DLV but the delivery QTY is actually 0 with the short/exc being the negative of the Total qty. I went into the cost analysis to see the order and i see the goods receipt component has a (-) number where the total planed actual is and zero where the total actual is. Any advice on what should i do? Also, what should i do with the TECO orders once they hit my report analysis? Thanks in advance.
