SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KJ - Cost Object Controlling for Make-to-Order Production

• Message number: 226

• Message text: Sum across all apportionment numbers = 0. Cannot use MOA (&,&)

What causes this issue?

This procedure apportions the <DS:GLOS.results_analysis_data>results
analysis data</> calculated in <DS:GLOS.results_analysis>results
analysis</> to the <DS:GLOS.line_ID>line IDs</> in proportion to
apportionment numbers. In this case, however, no apportionment numbers
were specified under <LS>Define Update for Results Analysis </>, which
means that the method of apportionment cannot be used.
The pair (&V1&,&V2&) means (line ID category, results analysis form).
The line ID categories are:
K = costs
P = costs of commissions and complaints
The results analysis forms are:
B = work in process
R = reserves for unrealized costs
P = reserves for commissions and complaints

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?

When you press ENTER, the system will attempt to select another method
of apportionment. The search will use the following sequence:
Apportionment numbers (based on the apportionment number defined under
<LS>Define Update for Results Analysis</>)
Apportionment numbers, with apportionment numbers per line ID = 1
Only the value of the open period is distributed using the changed
method.
Otherwise, you can go into Customizing and do one of the following:
Enter apportionment numbers for the <(><<)>DS:GLOS.capitalized
costs>capitalized costs<(><<)>/> and the
<DS:GLOS.reserves_for_unrealized_costs>reserves for unrealized costs</>
in <LS>Define Update for Results Analysis</>, or
Choose a method of apportionment for the selected
<DS:GLOS.results_analysis_version>results analysis version</>
in the <LS>Valuation Method for Results Analysis</> that
apportions the values differently.
