KKAO after closing activities.

[former_member530044]

Dear Experts,

What would be the impact if i only perform the KKAO (WIP) only in the middle of the month? The key-user forgot to run it as part of period end closing activities. Is it better to run it on the midddle of the month? or wait till next closing?

Tips are wellcome,

Regards,

Dear Leandro-

WIP Calculation program KKAO can be run multiple times in the month, but it will not post anything to the general ledger till you run settlement program (CO88).

You need to understand that if you run WIP in the middle of the month, and dont settle it till end of the month then all the transactions that happened between middle of the month and end of the month will not get updated to WIP or COGS which is not desirable.

WIP calculation is a very important step that needs to be performed at the end of the month along with settlement. So, even though you perform WIP calculation and settlement two, three or four times a month, they need to be run again at the end of the month to correctly gather all the actvities for the month and settle correct WIP and COGS amounts.

Also, you can schedule manager or set these jobs to run automatically end of the month to avoid user mistakes.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You can run it. i don't see any harm in it his so long its been run till last period end.

Only one thing is that you won't see that balance is zero in order as there may be posting in the current period. Further, would advice to wait for next period close.

As normally we do this for reporting at month end.
