KQ708 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 708

• Message text: Object type & (client &) has more than one variance version

What causes this issue?

Object type &v1& in client &v2& has more than one variance version.

System Response

The tables for variance calculation cannot be converted.

How to fix this error?

Since the inconsistency only affects the functions "Variance
calculation for orders" and "Variance calculation for cost object
hierarchies" in product cost accounting, production operation of your
system can still be started immediately.
If you do not use the above variance calculation functions, you can
ignore this error.
Variance calculation for orders and cost object hierarchies will not
function until the inconsistency is removed. If version 000, which is
relevant for settlement, is affected by the inconsistency, you also
cannot settle variances for orders and cost object hierarchies until
the inconsistency is removed.
To correct this error, proceed as follows:
Run report RKTKV30A and print out the list that is generated.
Run report RKTKVIN1 and print out the list that is generated.
Send these printouts to SAP together with a problem message.
