• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KJ510 - WIP at target costs only supported if operational valuation = legal val. ?

  The SAP error message KJ510 indicates that there is an issue with the Work in Progress (WIP) calculation in the context of target costs. Specifically, it states that WIP at target costs is only supported if the operational valuation is equal to the legal valuation. This error typically arises in the context of controlling and financial accounting when there is a mismatch between the valuation methods used in different areas of the system.
  Cause:
  
  Valuation Method Mismatch: The operational valuation (used for internal reporting and controlling) is not aligned with the legal valuation (used for external reporting). This can happen if different valuation methods are set up in the system for different purposes.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the controlling module (CO) and financial accounting module (FI) may not be properly aligned, leading to discrepancies in how costs are calculated and reported.
  WIP Calculation Settings: The settings for WIP calculation may not be correctly configured to allow for target cost calculations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Valuation Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP and verify the valuation methods for both operational and legal valuations. Ensure that they are set to be the same if you intend to use target costs for WIP calculations.
  You can check this in the following path: 
  
  SPRO > Controlling > Cost Object Controlling > Work in Progress > Define Valuation Methods.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If the valuations are different and you need to use target costs, consider adjusting the configuration to ensure that both valuations are aligned.
  If necessary, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant to make the appropriate changes.
  
  
  
  Review WIP Calculation Settings:
  
  Ensure that the WIP calculation settings are correctly configured to allow for target costs. This may involve checking the settings for the relevant cost objects and ensuring that they are set up to use target costs.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, perform a test run to ensure that the WIP calculation works as expected without triggering the KJ510 error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on WIP calculations and valuation methods.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration.
  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  By ensuring that the operational and legal valuations are aligned, you should be able to resolve the KJ510 error and successfully calculate WIP at target costs.
