• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KQ286 - WIP at target costs only allowed for operational RA version in legal val. ?

  The SAP error message KQ286 indicates that there is an issue with Work in Progress (WIP) calculations related to target costs in the context of operational results analysis (RA) versions in legal valuation. This error typically arises when the system is trying to process WIP for a version that is not set up correctly for operational results analysis.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect RA Version: The error usually occurs when the RA version being used is not configured to allow target costs for WIP calculations. This can happen if the version is set to a non-operational type or if it is not properly defined in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the controlling (CO) module that are not aligned with the requirements for WIP calculations.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data related to the cost objects or the settings for the controlling area.

  Check RA Version Configuration:

  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks on the cost objects involved to ensure there are no discrepancies.
  Use transaction codes like KKAO (for WIP calculation) to review the data and ensure everything is in order.
