System Response

Within plan calculation of accrual costs, no values may be calculated
and further processing is not practical.
In order to revoke values from previous processing runs, choose
"Cancel".
Within actual calculation of accrual costs, values for the
target=actual method are calculated and posted if necessary.
No values can be calculated for the cost element percentage (CEP)
method. If values from a previous processing run are available on
overhead cost elements, these will be revoked.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the CEP method is active in the given controlling area
and complete, if necessary, the assignment of overhead layouts in this
controlling area.
If only the target=actual method is to be active, you can continue with
the processing immediately.
