  The SAP error message KJ470 indicates that there is an issue with the use of plan values in a specific context, particularly when the valuation basis is set to O (for actual costs) or 0-9 (for various types of planned costs). This error typically arises in the context of controlling (CO) or profitability analysis (CO-PA) when trying to process or analyze cost planning data.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Valuation Basis: Ensure that the valuation basis you are using is appropriate for the operation you are trying to perform. If you are using plan values, make sure the valuation basis is set to O or 0-9 as required.

  Adjust Planning Data: If necessary, adjust the planning data to ensure that it aligns with the expected valuation basis. This may involve revising the planned costs or the way they are structured in the system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the valuation basis and how it interacts with plan values. This can provide insights into the correct setup and usage.
  
  
  Seek Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific configuration and business processes.
