How To Fix KA442 - Post processing in incorrect client -> Start the RKAZUTR1 report

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KA - CO Overhead Costs: Overhead, Accrual Calculation

• Message number: 442

• Message text: Post processing in incorrect client -> Start the RKAZUTR1 report

What causes this issue?

Automatic postprocessing for the transport of overhead rates was not
finished successfully. The postprocessing program was automatically
started in client &V3&, which is not the same client as import client
&V1& for the transport.

System Response

The system stopped automatic postprocessing during the import.

How to fix this error?

RESET N1
Ensure that all other steps in the transport request are completed
successfully.
Remove any errors that occurred.
If automatic postprocessing was stopped, start the RKAZUTR1 report in
import client &V1& for manual postprocessing. If no client is
specified, ask your system administration which client was used for the
import.
For manual postprocessing, transfer transport request number &V2& as a
parameter to the RKAZUTR1 report.
As this report replaces automatic postprocessing for the transport
request, once the report has been completed successfully, this means
that the overhead rate transport was also successful. Therefore, you do
not need to transport again.
