/CWM/MM047
- There is no variance ?The SAP error message
/CWM/MM047 There is no variance
typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with variance analysis in the context of production orders, cost centers, or internal orders. This error indicates that the system is unable to find any variance data for the specified object, which can happen for several reasons.Causes:
- No Actual Costs Recorded: The production order or cost center may not have any actual costs recorded against it, leading to no variance being calculated.
- No Planned Costs: If there are no planned costs associated with the order or cost center, the system cannot compute a variance.
- Incorrect Period: The period for which you are trying to analyze variance may not have any data. This can happen if the data is not yet posted for that period.
- Data Not Updated: The variance calculation may not have been executed or updated in the system, leading to a lack of variance data.
- Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the controlling area or the settings for the specific order type.
Solutions:
- Check Actual and Planned Costs: Verify that both actual and planned costs are recorded for the order or cost center in question. You can do this by checking the relevant reports or transaction codes (e.g., CJI3 for project-related costs).
- Review the Period: Ensure that you are looking at the correct period and that all necessary postings have been made for that period.
- Run Variance Calculation: If the variance calculation has not been run, you may need to execute the relevant transaction (e.g., KKS1 for production orders) to calculate variances.
- Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the controlling area to ensure that everything is set up correctly for variance analysis.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on variance analysis and troubleshooting.
