How To Fix KV151 - Only remaining var. in version & - no target costs for & &

KV151 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KV - Variance Analysis for Cost Centers and Cost Objects

• Message number: 151

• Message text: Only remaining var. in version & - no target costs for & &

What causes this issue?

For the calculation of variances with &v2& &v3&, the
<DS:GLOS.target_costs>target costs</> in
<DS:GLOS.target_cost_version>target cost version</> &v1& are missing
for the following reasons:
There were no planned costs and/or planned quantities (see earlier
message).
The quantities on which the planned costs were based are zero in the
time period concerned. This may be caused by the fact that no goods
receipt for a cost object (such as a
<DS:GLOS.3526B6F2AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>product cost collector</> or
<DS:GLOS.3526C388AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>production order</>) has been
entered.
This results in target costs of zero.

System Response

Because no target costs were calculated, the difference between the
planned and actual costs could not be broken down into
<DS:GLOS.variance_category>variance categories</>. The difference is
updated as a <DS:GLOS.remaining_variance>remaining variance</>.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KV151 - Only remaining var. in version & - no target costs for & & ?

  The SAP error message KV151 ("Only remaining var. in version & - no target costs for & &") typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) when working with cost planning and variance analysis. This error indicates that there are no target costs available for the specified version in the system, which is necessary for the variance calculation.
  
  Cause:
  
  Missing Target Costs: The primary cause of this error is that the target costs for the specified version are not maintained in the system. This could happen if the planning process was not completed or if the target costs were not saved correctly.
  Incorrect Version: The version specified in the error message may not have any target costs assigned to it, or it may be a version that is not intended for use in the current context.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing entries in the cost planning
