How To Fix KZ453 - Object & has no allocation bases

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KZ - Cost Object Repetitive Mfg / Process Mfg

• Message number: 453

• Message text: Object & has no allocation bases

What causes this issue?

The costs entered on the <DS:GLOS.3526B6C7AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>cost
object hierarchy</> are distributed to the
<DS:GLOS.3526B6F2AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>product cost collectors</> or
<DS:GLOS.3526C3D7AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>manufacturing orders</> based
on the <DS:GLOS.3526B75FAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>target costs</> or
using other criteria.
If distribution is based on the target costs, the cause of the error is
that the system could not calculate any target costs for this cost
object hierarchy, <DS:GLOS.3526B6C8AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>cost object
node</>, or for an order (product cost collector or manufacturing
order) assigned to the cost object hierarchy.
If distribution is based on other criteria (such as equivalence
numbers), the cause of the error is that these criteria have not been
defined.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KZ453 - Object & has no allocation bases ?

  The SAP error message KZ453 indicates that the specified object does not have any allocation bases defined. This typically occurs in the context of cost allocation or internal order management, where the system expects to find allocation bases for distributing costs or revenues.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Allocation Bases: The object (e.g., cost center, internal order, or project) does not have any allocation bases defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the allocation process may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of allocation bases.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in the data entry or master data setup that prevent the allocation bases from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Allocation Bases:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration or master data settings for the object in question.
  Ensure that allocation bases are defined for the object. This can typically be done in the following ways:
  
  For cost centers, check the allocation base settings in the Cost Center Master Data.
  For internal orders, verify the settings in the Internal Order Master Data.
  For projects, check the Project Definition settings.
  
  
  
  
  
  Define Allocation Bases:
  
  If allocation bases are missing, you will need to define them. This can involve:
  
  Creating or updating the allocation base in the relevant configuration settings.
  Ensuring that the allocation base is linked to the correct cost elements or other relevant objects.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you are responsible for system configuration, review the settings in the controlling (CO) module to ensure that all necessary configurations for allocation are in place.
  Check transaction codes like OKB9 (Define Allocation Base) or KSV5 (Display Allocation Base) to manage allocation bases.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on setting up allocation bases for your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test to ensure that the allocation process works as expected without generating the KZ453 error.
