How To Fix KF421 - You have not specified a PA transfer structure or value fields (fxd/var.)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KF -

• Message number: 421

• Message text: You have not specified a PA transfer structure or value fields (fxd/var.)

What causes this issue?

Cycle &V1& was defined for the sender selection type "Split costs". If
costing-based CO-PA is active, you need to assign the overhead costs to
value fields in CO-PA. You can do this by specifying either fixed value
fields for fixed and variable costs or a PA transfer structure.
If you explicitly enter fixed value fields, and if account-based CO-PA
is also active, you must enter one value field for fixed costs AND one
value field for variable costs, otherwise only one type of costs will
be transferred to account-based CO-PA.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Enter either a PA transfer structure or value fields for fixed and
variable costs.
