How To Fix KE372 - Costing variant stored with start of period

KE372 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KE -

• Message number: 372

• Message text: Costing variant stored with start of period

What causes this issue?

In Customizing for Product Costing, costing type &V2& was assigned to
costing variant &V1&. There, the costing date with which automatic
costing is to be saved is set as the start of the period.

How to fix this error?

For this reason, you must enter the relevant period in field
'Period/year' with which the system is to read the product cost
estimate.
As costing type &V2& concerns a standard cost estimate, you could,
instead of entering the period yourself, use the plan period flag from
which the system takes the relevant period from the material master.
