Message number: 338
Message text: Profit basis & can only be used with a sales order
If profit basis &v1& is used, the planned costs used for calculating
the profit are calculated in the standard cost estimate for the
material. This process is only allowed for a sales order item.
For logistical orders (such as production orders) and projects, the
planned costs are calculated in <DS:GLOS.cost_element_planning>cost
element planning</> or in a <DS:GLOS.unit_costing>unit cost
estimate</>.
Go into Customizing in the valuation method and choose a profit basis
that calculates the profit by using the costs and revenues planned by
cost element.

KJ338
- Profit basis & can only be used with a sales order ?The SAP error message KJ338, which states "Profit basis & can only be used with a sales order," typically occurs in the context of profitability analysis (CO-PA) when trying to execute a transaction that requires a sales order reference, but the system cannot find one or the context is not appropriate for the profit basis being used.
Cause: Incorrect Profit Basis: The profit basis you are trying to use is configured to only work with sales orders, but the transaction you are executing does not have a sales order associated with it. Missing Sales Order: The transaction might not have a sales order linked to it, which is necessary for the profit basis to be valid.
Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the profitability analysis that restrict the use of certain profit bases to specific transaction types.
Solution: Check Transaction Type: Ensure that the transaction you are trying to execute is indeed linked to
