How To Fix KD283 - WIP/cost of sales can only be settled after reversal

KD283 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KD - CO Settlement

• Message number: 283

• Message text: WIP/cost of sales can only be settled after reversal

What causes this issue?

You can post revenues to the sender (revenue cost elements)
The sender has a results analysis key.
In settlement, the accrued actual costs (work in process, costs of
sales - calculated in the earned value calculation) are settled.
However, in the past the posted, non-accrued actual costs for this
sender were settled.
You cannot change from one to the other in this way without first
reversing settlements made up to now.

How to fix this error?

Settling costs not accrued
If you do not want to settle such costs any longer, remove the results
analysis key from the sender master data.
Settling accrued costs
If you want to settle accrued costs for this sender, any settlement
already made must be reversed in full. Then settle the reversed
periods once more, before settling the current settlement period.

KD283 - Details

• The SAP error message KD283, which states "WIP/cost of sales can only be settled after reversal," typically occurs in the context of Work in Progress (WIP) and Cost of Sales (CoS) settlements in SAP Controlling (CO) module. This error indicates that there is an issue with the settlement process for WIP or CoS, often related to the status of the associated production orders or projects.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Incomplete Reversal: The error usually arises when there is an attempt to settle WIP or CoS for a production order or project that has not been fully reversed. This could mean that there are still some transactions or postings that need to be reversed before the settlement can proceed.
  
  
  Incorrect Order Status: The production order or project may be in a status that does not allow for settlement. For example, if the order is still open or has not been fully closed, the system will prevent settlement.
