• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 60195 - Point variance &, period & & &, too large ?

  The SAP error message "60195 Point variance &, period & & &, too large" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with variance calculations in cost accounting. This error indicates that the variance for a specific point in time (period) is exceeding the allowable limits set in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Excessive Variance: The primary cause of this error is that the calculated variance for a particular cost center, internal order, or project is too large. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect or excessive postings to the cost object.
  Errors in the configuration of the cost center or internal order.
  Data entry mistakes leading to inflated costs or revenues.
  
  
  
  Configuration Limits: There may be predefined limits in the system for variances that, when exceeded, trigger this error.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: Issues with the underlying data, such as incorrect master data or inconsistent transaction data, can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Variance Calculation: Check the variance calculation for the specific cost object. Analyze the postings made to ensure they are accurate and within expected limits.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the cost center or internal order. Ensure that the settings align with the business requirements and that there are no limits set that are too restrictive.
  
  
  Data Validation: Validate the data entries related to the cost object. Look for any anomalies or incorrect postings that could be inflating the variance.
  
  
  Adjust Limits: If necessary, consider adjusting the limits set in the system for variances, but do this with caution and ensure it aligns with business practices.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling variance errors in your version of SAP.
  
  
  Engage Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance. They may provide insights based on system logs or additional configuration settings.
