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?

Maintain the cutoff period. To do so, go to the menu of the application
component (e.g. Product Cost by Sales Order) in the change mode of the
cutoff period (<DS:TRAN.KKA0>Change Cutoff Period</>) or make the
necessary changes in Customizing for WIP calculation or results
analysis. In the valuation method, you can specify the following:
That the cutoff period is the period preceding the results analysis
period
That the cutoff period is the cutoff period entered in the results
analysis version (i.e. the cutoff period entered by means of the
above-mentioned transaction).
That in the case of planned results analysis, the cutoff period is the
cutoff period of the results analysis version, and in the case of
actual results analysis the cutoff period is the period preceding the
results analysis period.
