What causes this issue?

In <DS:GLOS.3526B6DBAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>Product Cost by Period</>,
<DS:GLOS.3526B774AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>work in process</> and
<DS:GLOS.359A41323EC34A00E10000009B38F984>scrap variances</> are
calculated by valuating the quantities confirmed at the operations or
<DS:GLOS.3526C41CAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>reporting points</> with the
<DS:GLOS.3526B75FAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>target costs</>.
The system uses these target costs to calculate the
<DS:GLOS.3528A1199C0F1940E000080009927D9B>overhead</> for the operation
or reporting point.
In this case the system cannot calculate any overhead.
