How To Fix KE291 - Error during valuation using product costing

KE291 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KE -

• Message number: 291

• Message text: Error during valuation using product costing

What causes this issue?

In Profitability Analysis, the system tried to valuate the line item by
transferring a cost component split in the <ZH>controlling area
currency</> for costing key <ZH>&V4&</>
In this particular instance, the system has determined that cost
component splits are not stored in the controlling area currency in
company code <ZH>&v1&</> for the costing type <ZH>&v2&</> and valuation
variant <ZH>&v3&</>. Consequently, no data could be transferred in the
controlling area currency.
(In company codes that use a different currency from that of the
controlling area to which they are assigned, the Product Cost
Controlling (CO-PC) lets you store cost component splits in both the
company code currency and the controlling area currency. You can define
this by activating the appropriate indicator in Customizing for CO-PC
for the desired company code. This setting is also dependent on the
control parameters <DS:DE.CK_KALKA>costing type</> and
<DS:DE.CK_BWVAR>valuation variant</>. For the current transaction,
these control parameters were determined from the
<DS:DE.CK_KLVAR>costing variant</>. The costing variant itself was
determined either via the <DS:DE.KALAW>costing key</> or the sales
order item number (in sales-order manufacturing).

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
