• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KK709 - No overhead was calculated - see error log ?

  The SAP error message KK709 ("No overhead was calculated - see error log") typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) when trying to calculate overhead for a cost object, such as a cost center or internal order. This error indicates that the system was unable to calculate overhead costs due to some underlying issues.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Configuration: The overhead calculation may not be properly configured in the system. This includes missing or incorrect settings in the overhead calculation schema or the allocation structure.
  
  
  Data Issues: There may be missing or incorrect data in the master records (e.g., cost centers, internal orders) or in the transaction data that is required for the overhead calculation.
  
  
  Period Closing: If the period is closed, the system may not allow overhead calculations for that period.
  
  
  Cost Element Issues: The cost elements used in the overhead calculation may not be correctly defined or may not have the necessary settings for overhead calculation.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the overhead calculation.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for overhead calculation in the controlling area. Ensure that the overhead calculation schema and allocation structure are correctly set up.
