How To Fix KQ131 - CO area &: results analysis version & will be settled -> F1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KQ - Error Messages for Customizing Product Costing

• Message number: 131

• Message text: CO area &: results analysis version & will be settled -> F1

What causes this issue?

The <LS>Transfer to Financial Accounting</> indicator is turned on in
<DS:GLOS.results_analysis_version>results analysis version</> &v2& in
<DS:GLOS.controlling_area>controlling area</> &v1&. Posting rules can
only be changed if this indicator is turned off.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Switching this indicator on and off can cause inconsistencies if
associated posting rules have been created and you have already
settled.
If you turn the indicator off, data that has already been posted to
Financial Accounting from <DS:GLOS.3526B772AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>WIP
calculation</> or <DS:GLOS.3526B6A7AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>results
analysis</> is not reversed, and changes to this data are not updated
to Financial Accounting.
Furthermore, if you turn off this indicator it becomes possible to make
changes in the associated posting rules again. Because such changes can
easily cause inconsistencies, it is strongly recommended that you do
not make such changes if you have already settled.
Example of an incompatible change:
WIP is posted to a different account than before. The result is that
when the WIP is canceled, the new account is credited instead of the
original account.
If you turn the indicator on, the data calculated by WIP calculation or
results analysis is transferred to Financial Accounting when you
settle.
Because subsequent changes to the associated posting rules can result
in inconsistencies, the system only allows you to change these posting
rules if the indicator <LS>Transfer to Financial Accounting</> is
turned off.

System Response

The system does not allow the posting rules to be changed.

How to fix this error?

Do not turn on the indicator <LS>Transfer to Financial Accounting</>
until you have completely maintained the posting rules. You should not
change the posting rules later.
If it nevertheless becomes necessary to change the posting rules later,
check whether the change in the posting rules is compatible with the
posting of <DS:GLOS.results_analysis_data>results analysis data</> that
has already been settled.
If you still want to make an incompatible change, you can first reverse
the data already posted in two ways:
Reverse the settlements
Cancel the results analysis data that has already been settled with
<DS:DE.ABGR_ART>results analysis type</> <ZH>Z</> and settle again. All
settled data then add to zero. You set results analysis type <ZH>Z</>
in Customizing for Product Cost by Sales Order under Period-End Closing
-> Results Analysis. Also go into Customizing for Product Cost by Sales
Order if you want to cancel the results analysis data calculated in WIP
calculation in Product Cost by Period or Product Cost by Order.
After the reversal of posted data, turn off the <LS>Transfer to
Financial Accounting</> indicator in the results analysis version. Then
change the posting rules accordingly. Then select the indicator in the
results analysis version again. Make absolutely sure that no settlement
is performed during the change, because it would not include the data
of WIP calculation or results analysis due to the fact that the
<LS>Transfer to Financial Accounting</> indicator was turned off.
