How To Fix KP278 - Ingoing activity relationship in partial iteration.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KP - CO-OM Planning

• Message number: 278

• Message text: Ingoing activity relationship in partial iteration.

What causes this issue?

In the iterative price calculation framework, the system detected an
assignment between &V1& and &V2&. However, &V1& is not included in the
partial quantity to be iterated; that is, the iterated subnetwork is
not closed. This can result in activity or process prices that disagree
with those resulting from a complete iteration.

System Response

The system accepts this relationship but will not continue the
iteration

How to fix this error?

Check the relationship between &V1& and &V2&. If a manual price was set
in &V1&, the relationship is unproblematic. If an iterative price
exists, check whether iterative relationships exist. If in doubt, run
the price calculation for the entire controlling area.
