• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IK014 - Order & has no actual costs: Key figure values cannot be determined ?

  The SAP error message IK014 ("Order & has no actual costs: Key figure values cannot be determined") typically occurs in the context of controlling and cost accounting when you are trying to analyze or report on an order that has not yet incurred any actual costs. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to execute a report or transaction that requires actual cost data for a specific order.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Actual Costs Posted: The most common reason for this error is that the order in question has not yet had any actual costs posted to it. This can happen if the order is new or if no activities or expenses have been recorded against it.
  
  
  Order Status: The order may be in a status that does not allow for cost postings. For example, if the order is closed or technically completed, it may not accept further cost postings.
  
  
  Data Synchronization Issues: There may be a delay or issue in the data synchronization between different modules (e.g., between Production Planning and Controlling).
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the controlling module that prevent costs from being posted to the order.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Actual Costs: Verify if any actual costs have been posted to the order. You can do this by checking the order details in the SAP system (transaction codes like KO03 for display order).
  
  
  Post Costs: If the order is valid and should have costs, ensure that the relevant transactions (like goods movements, activity confirmations, etc.) have been executed to post costs to the order.
  
  
  Review Order Status: Check the status of the order. If it is closed or in a status that does not allow for cost postings, you may need to reopen it or change its status.
  
  
  Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings for the controlling module are correct and that there are no restrictions on posting costs to the order.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: If you suspect data synchronization issues, you may need to run consistency checks or reports to ensure that all relevant data is up to date.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional insights into the error message and its implications.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KO03 (Display Order), KOB1 (Order Actual/Plan/Variance), and KSB1 (Cost Centers: Actual Line Items) to analyze costs and orders.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view and post costs to the order.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in SAP Controlling (CO) for further assistance.
