KKS1 , KKAO and CO88

6273 Views

Hi Friends,

My normal understanding was that KKS1 calculates variances and KKAO calculates WIP and when you run CO88, it settles both in FI. But recently, one user by mistake executed KKAO only at the middle of the month in real production mode and also executed CO88 subsequently. The strange thing is: system posted only variances (even if KKS1 was not run at all for the period) and no WIP was posted for the period even though KKAO was executed. Can someone solve this mystery as to why this happened? Is it due to the mid month running of KKAO and CO88? Is KKS1 not really necessary to run? Should the users reverse C088 postings and run CO88 again at month end? Or can CO88 be run multiple times during the month without reversing the results? Would it post only incremental postings or duplicate postings if not reversed?

Also, in test system when I executed CO88 without executing KKS1 and KKAO, system did post WIP as well as variances. This seems to be inconsistent system behavior as in production system, it did not post WIP. Have anyone come accross this issue? Is there no need to run KKAL and KKS1 at all?

Thanks.
