How To Fix KJ715 - Cost line ID & must be category K or ..... see long text

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 715

• Message text: Cost line ID & must be category K or ..... see long text

What causes this issue?

The costs of the dynamic item were assigned to line ID &V1&. The
complete expression used to find the line ID in the assignment is:
&V2&&V3&
The words or letters enclosed with slashes describe, in order:
/cost element/origin group/cost center/activity type/business process/
debit or credit indicator/variable fixed indicator/apportionment
reason/accounting indicator/fiscal year/period/.
Possible reasons for this error:
a) A wrong line ID was assigned to the cost element or the complete
expression.
b) The line ID has the wrong category. The line ID category must be K
for costs that are processed in connection with the dynamic items of
resource-related billing. Exception: If you want results analysis to
ignore the costs from dynamic items processing that are assigned to this
line ID, this can be achieved by using category N.
Special feature for category D of the line IDs:
Category D can only be used for results analysis with dynamic items if
these are not processed using the dynamic items of resource-related
billing. This means that these must be excluded from the sources in the
profile of the dynamic items.
If you process the costs using dynamic items and you want to achieve the
functions of category D, you have the following options:
Use category K and always reject these costs in resource-related
billing.
Use category K and program the component EXIT_SAPLADK0_002 of SAP
enhancement KKAG0004 so that, for example, the work in process amount
for this line ID flows into the cost of sales.
