What causes this issue?

If you change the <DS:GlOS.costing_variant>costing variant</> for the
<DS:GLOS.preliminary_costing>preliminary cost estimate</> of the
<DS:GLOS.product_cost_collector>product cost collector</> after the
affected product cost collector has already been posted to, this may
result in the following problems in the calculation of
<DS:GLOS.work_in_process>work in process</>, variances, and scrap:
You might not be able to repeat previous calculations of
<DS:GLOS.WIP_calculation>WIP</> and scrap because the valuation basis
is missing (cost estimate).
See also: <DS:SIMG.SIMG_ORKKBEWWIPPER>Valuation variant for work in
process and scrap</>
In variance calculation, discrepancies might result if the activity
confirmation in repetitive manufacturing is made on the basis of the
preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KOSA112 - Product cost collector &1 already posted to. See long text ?

  The SAP error message KOSA112 indicates that a product cost collector has already been posted to, which means that you cannot make further postings to that cost collector. This typically occurs in the context of controlling and product costing in SAP, where cost collectors are used to accumulate costs for production orders or projects.
  Cause:
  
  Previous Postings: The product cost collector has already been used for postings, which locks it for further changes or postings.
  Period Closure: The posting period may be closed, preventing any further postings to that cost collector.
  Cost Collector Status: The status of the cost collector may be set to "completed" or "closed," which restricts further activity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Posting Status: Review the status of the product cost collector to confirm if it is indeed closed or completed. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., COSS or COKA).
  Open Posting Period: If the posting period is closed, you may need to open it again if your business processes allow for it. This typically requires authorization and should be done with caution.
  Create a New Cost Collector: If the cost collector is closed and cannot be reopened, consider creating a new product cost collector for any new postings.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the implications of reopening a period or changing the status of a cost collector, consult with your finance or controlling team for guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as COSS (Cost Collector) and COKA (Cost Object Controlling) to manage and review cost collectors.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on product cost collectors and their management.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to cost collectors and posting periods.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP support team or consult with an SAP expert for further assistance.
