• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KV064 - Variance key &: scrap is calculated through variances ?

  The SAP error message KV064 indicates that there is an issue with the calculation of scrap in relation to variances in the context of product costing. This error typically arises when the system is trying to calculate scrap based on variance keys, but it encounters a problem due to configuration or data issues.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issues: The variance key may not be properly configured in the system. This can happen if the variance key is not assigned to the relevant cost object or if the settings for scrap calculation are incorrect.
  Missing Master Data: The material master or the cost object may not have the necessary data related to scrap or variance keys.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the cost center, production order, or other related objects that affect how scrap is calculated.
  Incorrect Settings in Costing Variant: The costing variant used for the calculation may not be set up to handle scrap correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Variance Key Configuration: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings for variance keys in SAP and ensure that the key is correctly set up for the relevant cost object.
  Verify that the variance key is assigned to the appropriate cost center or production order.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data for the relevant materials to ensure that the scrap percentage and variance key are correctly defined.
  Ensure that the material is set up for the correct valuation class and that all necessary fields are populated.
  
  
  
  Validate Costing Variant Settings:
  
  Review the costing variant settings to ensure that they are configured to handle scrap calculations appropriately.
  Make sure that the costing variant includes the necessary parameters for scrap and variance calculations.
  
  
  
  Check for Inconsistencies:
  
  Run consistency checks on the relevant cost objects (e.g., production orders, cost centers) to identify any discrepancies that may be causing the error.
  Correct any inconsistencies found during the checks.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the KV064 error and related configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test run to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that scrap calculations are functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as CK11N (Create Cost Estimate) or CK40N (Costing Run) to analyze and test the costing scenarios.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on the KV064 error.
  User Forums: Consider visiting SAP community forums or user groups for additional insights and solutions shared by other users who may have encountered the same issue.
