What causes this issue?

You are attempting to perform <DS:GLOS.results_analysis>results
analysis</> for a
<DS:GLOS.3526C3D7AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>manufacturing order</> that
is assigned to a sales document item and that delivers to the
<DS:GLOS.3526B6CFAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>nonvaluated sales order stock
</>.
In the <DS:GLOS.results_analysis_version>results analysis version</>,
you have specified by means of the indicator
<DS:DE.KKA_WIPEL_K>Calculate WIP for manufacturing orders in
sales-order-related production</> that <DS:GLOS.work_in_process>work in
process</> (WIP) should be calculated separately for this manufacturing
order.
This means that the work in process is calcuated at actual cost through
the <DS:GLOS.results_analysis_key>results analysis key</> in the
manufacturing order until the status DLV (delivered) or TECO
(technically completed) is set. If the order has one of these statuses,
the actual costs for the manufacturing order are included in results
analysis for the sales order item.
In this case you must enter a results analysis key in the manufacturing
order in which a valuation method with
<DS:GLOS.results_analysis_type>results analysis type</> F (WIP
calculation on basis of actual costs) and a valuation method with
results analysis type Z (cancel data of WIP calculation and results
analysis) is defined.

System Response

The system does not execute the function.

How to fix this error?

Enter a results analysis key in the manufacturing order that is
suitable for <DS:GLOS.WIP_calculation>WIP calculation</> at actual
cost.
If no results analysis key for WIP calculation at actual costs exists,
you must go into Customizing and modify the valuation method for the
results analysis key accordingly.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KJ279 - Order is WIP element for sales order: Only RA types F and Z permitted ?

  The SAP error message KJ279 indicates that there is an issue with the order type being used in relation to a sales order. Specifically, it states that the order is a Work in Progress (WIP) element for a sales order, and only certain revenue account (RA) types, specifically F and Z, are permitted for this type of order.
  Cause:
  
  Order Type Restriction: The error typically arises when you are trying to post a transaction (like a goods movement or an invoice) against a WIP order that is not configured to allow the type of revenue account you are using.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of the order type in the system may not allow for the revenue account type you are trying to use. This can happen if the order type is set up incorrectly in the system or if the revenue account type is not properly defined in the system settings.
  Incorrect Posting: You may be attempting to post a transaction that is not allowed for the specific order type due to the nature of the WIP element.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Order Type Configuration: Review the configuration of the order type in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up to allow the appropriate revenue account types (F and Z) for WIP elements.
  
  You can do this by navigating to the configuration settings for the order type in the SAP IMG (Implementation Guide).
  
  
  
  Use Correct Revenue Account Type: If you are using a revenue account type other than F or Z, you will need to change it to one of the permitted types for the transaction you are trying to post.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support: If you are unsure about the configuration or how to change it, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP configuration.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or help files related to WIP elements and revenue account types for further guidance on how to resolve this issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  WIP Elements: Work in Progress (WIP) elements are used in manufacturing and project management to track costs associated with production or project activities that are not yet complete.
  Revenue Account Types: In SAP, revenue account types are used to categorize different types of revenue transactions. The types F and Z are typically used for specific financial reporting and accounting purposes.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes (like CO02 for order confirmation, or COHV for mass processing) that may be involved in the process you are working on.
  
  By addressing the configuration and ensuring that you are using the correct revenue account types, you should be able to resolve the KJ279 error message.
