Maintenance Order Settlement Error

Hi Experts;

   At the time of settlement run for a maintenance order on KO88

I received the mentioned error by system in the attached test file.

And found an SAP Note which is mentioned on the attached link.

- Following point number 1 in the solution section and set the order for TECO technical complete but it didn't work.

- Then searching for the Accrual Calculation customization to check the FLAG for "Settlement to FI" as mentioned on point number 2, I couldn't reach it on the SPRO, I found many Accrual Calculation options for different reasons but no one of them related to my issue and I didn't find that CHECK BOX for "Settlement to FI" at any of them.

So can someone kindly guide where to find such place to custom the settings to overcome such error ?

OR

Any else way to solve that error please ASAP because of the Year End Closing procedures ?

Thanks in advance;

Best regards;

Dear Mahmud

OKG9 to "transfer to FI" settings. Apart from this you need to check your settings for posting rules (OKG8). At settlement profile check valid receiver is given (normally a cost center or wherever you want to settle) and default object type (normally a Cost center).

Dear Rajneesh;

     This information was new to me.

I used the OKG9 and checked on the field for "Transfer to Financial Accounting"

And set the proper Posting Rules on OKG8.

And checked up that we have valid receiver and default object Type

But unfortunately it didn't work

have u else advice or help please

Many thanks for such good support

Dear Mahmood

Before settlement you need to calculate WIP/variance on the orders. Have you done that? T codes I don't remember (Prob KKAX/KKS2) please check in the paths.

Dear Rajneesh;

     I guess it could be the reason because I didn't do actually.

I read something about the WIP on the forums but I couldn't understand its relation with the issue but now through ur clear simple way I guess I got it and that is the reason.\

Let me try it and update u.

Many thanks;

Actually I think it is not required.

I tried KKAX  now and an error message is returned to me that the order I am trying to do WIP variance calculation for it has a category 30 which is not supported by WIP calculation.

And I think that is logic where the order which I need to settle is a maintenance order (PM) which hasn't the concept of WIP, where as it is mentioned on the error log that the WIP calculation supports order categories for:

1. Production Order without quantity structure. Type 04

2. Product Cost Collector. Type 05

3. production Order with quantity structure. Type 10

4. Process Order. Type 40

So do u think that it is right that Maintenance orders don't need WIP variance calculation?

If yes, what do u think it could be else???

Again many thanks for your effective support.

Dear Mahmud,

   Have you done the result analysis before the settlement ?

Hi Waman;

Yes, but actually I didn't know exactly how it can help to solve such error.
