How To Fix KJ364 - Customizing for WIP calculation: maintain status DLV and TECO

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 364

• Message text: Customizing for WIP calculation: maintain status DLV and TECO

What causes this issue?

For the calculation of <DS:GLOS.work_in_process>work in process</>
according to the actual cost method, you must specify in Customizing
which procedure is used to calculate the work in process by defining a
valuation method for the system status <ZH>REL</> (Released). You
define how this work in process is canceled at the end of the
production process by defining a valuation method for the status
<ZH>DLV</> (Delivered) and a valuation method for the status
<ZH>TECO</> (Technically completed).
In your case the problem is that the system cannot cancel the work in
process because you have not defined a suitable valuation method for
the status <ZH>DLV</> or <ZH>TECO</>. For cancellation of work in
process with the actual cost method, the appropriate valuation methods
must be defined for each status.

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?
