SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 716

• Message text: Revenue line ID & must be category E or ... see long text

What causes this issue?

The revenues of the dynamic item were assigned to line ID &V1&. The
complete expression with which the line ID was found in the assignment
is:
&V2&&V3&
The words or letters enclosed in slashes represent, in order:
/Cost element /Origin group/ Cost center/ Activity type/ Business
process/ Debit-credit indicator/ Variable-fixed indicator/ Apportionment
reason/ Accounting indicator/ Fiscal year/ Period/.
Possible reasons for this error:
a) The line ID has the wrong category. The line ID category must be E so
that results analysis can process the revenues in connection with the
dynamic items. If you want results analysis to ignore the values of this
line ID, use category N.
b) A wrong line ID was assigned to the cost element or the complete
expression.
c) Revenue account determination is not selecting the correct revenue
element.
Additional remark on the category of the line IDs: Category G cannot be
used for results analysis with dynamic items. The functionality of
category G can be achieved with the following workaround: Use category E
and program the component EXIT_SAPLADK0_002 of SAP enhancement KKAG0004
such that for example the revenue in excess of billings for this line ID
flows into the revenue affecting net income.
