• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KV102 - Remaining variance still in & ?

  The SAP error message KV102 ("Remaining variance still in &") typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and is related to variance calculation in internal orders or cost centers. This message indicates that there is still some remaining variance that has not been settled or cleared in the specified object (e.g., an internal order or cost center).
  Cause:
  
  Unsettled Variance: The primary cause of this error is that there are still amounts in the variance accounts that have not been settled. This can happen if the settlement process has not been executed correctly or completely.
  Incomplete Settlement: If the settlement of costs to a different cost object (like a cost center or another internal order) has not been performed, the system will flag this error.
  Posting Errors: There may be incorrect postings or unposted transactions that are affecting the variance calculation.
  Configuration Issues: There could be issues with the configuration of the internal order or cost center settings that prevent proper variance settlement.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Settlement: Ensure that the settlement process for the internal order or cost center has been executed. You can do this by navigating to the settlement transaction (e.g., KO88 for internal orders) and checking if the settlement has been completed.
  Review Variance Accounts: Use transaction codes like KOB1 (for order reports) or KSB1 (for cost center reports) to review the postings and see if there are any outstanding amounts that need to be addressed.
  Post Missing Transactions: If there are any missing transactions that should have been posted, ensure they are posted correctly.
  Run Variance Calculation: If applicable, run the variance calculation again to ensure that all amounts are correctly calculated and settled.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the internal order or cost center to ensure they are set up correctly for variance calculation and settlement.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details related to your version of SAP, as there may be additional steps or considerations based on your system's configuration.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KO88 (settlement of internal orders), KOB1 (order line item report), and KSB1 (cost center line item report).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform settlement and review transactions in the controlling module.
  Training: If you are frequently encountering this error, consider additional training on SAP CO processes to better understand variance calculation and settlement.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP CO for further assistance.
