How To Fix KD315 - System no longer settles variances to Profitability Analysis

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KD - CO Settlement

• Message number: 315

• Message text: System no longer settles variances to Profitability Analysis

What causes this issue?

The sender is a production order that was delivered or technically
completed, and then settled in period &v1& &v2&. Actual costs were
settled to Material or to a price difference account. At the same time,
variances were settled to the profitability analysis.
In the current settlement period &v3& &v4&, the system does not settle
any variances for the production order. This could be caused by one of
the following:
In the sender settlement profile, the "Variances" indicator was reset
before the settlement in period &v3& &v4&.
In customizing for the controlling area, the indicator for the
costing-based profitability analysis was reset before settlement in
period &v3& &v4&.
In the material master data, the material price control was changed
from S to V before settlement in period &v3& &v4&.

How to fix this error?

If you wish to settle variances for the production order in this
period, you need to change the settlement profile, controlling area or
the material master data accordingly.
If the order should no longer be included in the settlement, check to
see if the production order for this period is still relevant and set
the deletion flag for the order.
If variances should generally be excluded from the production order,
Reverse the previous settlements
Resettle, using the changed settings
