SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: VQ - SD Archiving and Product Allocation

  • Message number: 214

  • Message text: No statistical structure could be determined for procedure &

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    No valid entry for the product allocation determination procedure can
    be found currently in product allocation control table T190.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    Check the Customizing settings for product allocation, especially under
    'Control product allocation). The product allocation determination
    procedure must have an entry whose validity ends in the future.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VQ214 - No statistical structure could be determined for procedure & ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    VQ214 No statistical structure could be determined for procedure &


    Cause:

    This error occurs in SAP when the system tries to determine a statistical structure for a costing or variance calculation procedure but fails to find a valid statistical key figure or statistical structure assigned to the procedure.

    In other words, the costing or variance procedure you are using requires a statistical structure (which is used to allocate costs or calculate variances based on statistical key figures), but none has been defined or assigned for that procedure.


    When does it occur?

    • During costing runs (e.g., product costing, cost estimate runs).
    • During variance calculation or settlement processes.
    • When the system tries to allocate costs based on statistical key figures but cannot find the necessary configuration.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Costing/Variance Procedure Configuration:

      • Go to transaction OKKN (Costing Variants) or OKTZ (Variance Calculation Procedures) depending on the context.
      • Verify that the costing or variance procedure you are using has a statistical structure assigned.
    2. Assign a Statistical Structure:

      • In the procedure configuration, assign a valid statistical structure.
      • Statistical structures are defined in transaction OKKN or OKTZ under the relevant procedure.
      • The statistical structure defines which statistical key figures are used for allocation or variance calculation.
    3. Define Statistical Key Figures:

      • Ensure that the statistical key figures used in the statistical structure are maintained and available in the master data or during the costing run.
      • Statistical key figures are typically maintained in the material master or cost center master.
    4. Check Master Data:

      • Verify that the statistical key figures are correctly maintained in the relevant master data (e.g., material master, cost center).
      • If the statistical key figures are missing or zero, the system may not be able to determine the statistical structure.
    5. Review Customizing:

      • Use transaction OKKN or OKTZ to review and maintain the statistical structures and their assignment to procedures.
      • If necessary, create or adjust the statistical structure to fit your costing or variance calculation needs.

    Related Information:

    • Statistical Key Figures: These are quantities or values used to allocate costs or calculate variances statistically (e.g., machine hours, labor hours, quantities produced).
    • Costing Procedure: Defines how costs are calculated and allocated.
    • Variance Calculation Procedure: Defines how variances are calculated and allocated.
    • Transactions:
      • OKKN – Define Costing Variants and Statistical Structures.
      • OKTZ – Define Variance Calculation Procedures.
      • CK11N / CK40N – Costing runs where this error might appear.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to costing and variance calculation for any known issues or updates.

    Summary:

    • Cause: No statistical structure assigned or found for the costing/variance procedure.
    • Solution: Assign a valid statistical structure to the procedure and ensure statistical key figures are maintained.
    • Check: Procedure configuration, statistical structures, master data, and relevant customizing.

    If you provide the exact context (e.g., transaction or process where the error occurs), I can give more tailored guidance.
