  • What causes this issue?

    In Product Cost by Period,
    <DS:GLOS.3526B774AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>work in process</> can only
    be calculated at target cost. This is because the
    <DS:GLOS.3526B637AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>variance calculation</>
    process only calculates variances by period, so WIP at actual costs
    would not be included. This would result in actual costs being settled
    more than once.
    You are using Product Cost by Period if there is a periodic
    distribution rule in the
    <DS:GLOS.3526B633AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>settlement rule</> that
    settles to material with a percentage of greater than 0.

    How to fix this error?

    Use <DS:GLOS.3526B609AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>full settlement</> or
    calculate the work in process at target costs.
