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

• Message number: 233

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

What causes this issue?

The method of apportionment apportions the
<DS:GLOS.results_analysis_data>results analysis data</> calculated by
<DS:GLOS.results_analysis>results analysis</> to the
<DS:GLOS.line_ID>line IDs</> in proportion to the <LS>apportionment
numbers</> defined under <LS>Define Update for Results Analysis</> that
are entered for each line ID.
In this case no apportionment numbers were entered. The method of
apportionment therefore 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
