The deletion flag for <DS:GLOS.3526C4C0AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>run
schedule header</> &V1& cannot be set for the following reasons:
The <DS:GLOS.3526B763AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>cutoff period</> for
<DS:GLOS.3526B772AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>WIP calculation</> is not set
for the period of the last
<DS:GLOS.3526C41DAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>reporting point backflush</>,
scrap backflush, or final backflush for the run schedule header.

How to fix this error?

Make sure that the <DS:GLOS.3526B628AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>period-end
closing</> process in <DS:GLOS.3526B6CAAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>Cost
Object Controlling</> is executed for the desired cutoff period.
Then set the cutoff period for WIP calculation or the period lock for
variance calculation.
<ZH>Note</>
Once you have set the cutoff period or period lock for a period, you
should not withdraw it. Withdrawing the cutoff period or the period
lock can result in inconsistencies between the values shown on the
<DS:GLOS.3526B6F2AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>product cost collector</>
(such as work in process or variances) and the values calculated before
the cutoff period or period lock was withdrawn. Such inconsistencies
can occur if, for example, the deletion flag was set for the run
schedule headers or
<DS:GLOS.3526C3D7AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>manufacturing orders</> that
should have been included in the period-end closing process for the
product cost collector.
