• Message number: 720

• Message text: & errors found during analysis (see long text)

What causes this issue?

The consistency check found &v1& error(s) in the tables.

System Response

The system cannot convert the tables for variance calculation.

How to fix this error?

The table inconsistency only affects the functions "Variance
calculation for orders" and "Variance calculation for cost object
hierarchies" in product costing. The productive operation of your
system can thus be restarted immediately.
If you are not using the variance functions mentioned above, you can
ignore the errors issued by this report.
No variances can be calculated for orders or cost object hierarchies
until the inconsistencies are removed. If version 000, relevant for
settlement, is affected by the inconsistencies, no variances for orders
or cost object hierarchies can be settled until the problem is solved.
To solve the problem, proceed as follows:
Execute the report RKTKV30A and print out the list generated.
Execute the report RKTKVIN1 and print out the list generated.
Send the printouts to SAP together with a problem message.
