• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KJ362 - Only results analysis type 'E' allows manual entry of the cost of sales ?

  The SAP error message KJ362, which states "Only results analysis type 'E' allows manual entry of the cost of sales," typically occurs in the context of results analysis in SAP, particularly when dealing with projects or internal orders. This error indicates that the system is enforcing a restriction on how costs can be entered based on the results analysis type configured for the project or order.
  Cause:
  
  Results Analysis Type: The error arises because the results analysis type assigned to the project or order does not allow manual entry of the cost of sales. In SAP, different results analysis types have different rules regarding how costs can be handled.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration for the results analysis type may not be set to allow manual entries for cost of sales. Only results analysis type 'E' (which typically allows manual entries) permits this action.
  Project or Order Status: The status of the project or order may also affect whether manual entries are allowed. If the project is in a certain status, it may restrict manual cost entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Results Analysis Type: Verify the results analysis type assigned to the project or order. If it is not type 'E', consider changing it to type 'E' if that aligns with your business processes.
  
  You can check this in the project or order master data.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you have the necessary authorizations, review the configuration settings for the results analysis types in the SAP system. Ensure that the settings for type 'E' are correctly configured to allow manual entries.
  
  This can typically be done in the SPRO transaction under the controlling module settings.
  
  
  
  Consult with a SAP Consultant: If you are unsure about changing the results analysis type or the configuration settings, it may be beneficial to consult with a SAP functional consultant who specializes in controlling (CO) or project systems (PS).
  
  
  Check Project/Order Status: Ensure that the project or order is in a status that allows for manual entries. If it is in a locked or completed status, you may need to change its status or unlock it.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Results Analysis Types: Familiarize yourself with the different results analysis types available in SAP and their implications on cost entries.
