Assign a RA key to the WBS master data

[lavanya_latha]

Hello,

We have a WBS element with the status "REL  ACPT RESA SETC" and now when we are trying to assign a RA key, system is giving the error message "First Cancel settlement" and the details of the error message are below.

........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

First cancel settlement

Message no. KJ603

Diagnosis

The object has already been settled. To avoid inconsistent data, you can only make the following changes to the results analysis key when you have completely canceled the settlement of the object:

• Adding a results analysis key to an object that did not have one before

• Deleting the results analysis key from an object

Procedure

Decide whether you want to change the results analysis key in this way for WIP calculation or results analysis. If you do, proceed as follows:

• Access settlement and cancel each settlement for the object.
• If the object had a results analysis key and you now want to delete the results analysis key from the object, you must also delete the results analysis data of version 000. Decide whether you want to delete the data of other results analysis versions as well. You can delete the results analysis data with the following transactions:
• KKA7 with orders Delete results analysis data for order
• KKA8 with projects Delete results analysis data for WBS element
• KKA9 with sales orders Delete results analysis data for sales order
• Change the results analysis key in the master data of the object

Could somebody please advise me on this. How do we cancel the settlement?

Thanks for the help

Hi

You can very well reverse the settlement in the current period even if it was posted in previous months.

From system status I assume RA key was already assigned rather defaulted from profile on WBS elements. Was it not correct one or do you want to assign a new RA key on WBS elements.

Any have you can reverse the Settelement using CJ88 as well delete the RA data using KKA8.

After the assign with new RA key and save. Then execute KKA2 and CJ88

Hi,

Tushar has shown you the way.

But For reversal you may need to open the period. So first check whether your business allows you to open the previous period or not. Along this if your project is started in this FY then it might be possible else if your project is started in prev. FY then your accounts deptt/business might not allows you to open prev. FY period due to book closure.

However if you cant open the prev period then you may try to reverse in current period (Not sure whether this will work or not, so try in QAS). For this enter current month in posting period and settlement period as prev month then reverse ans same till first month of settlement.

Hi Lavanya,

For cancellation of settlement use reverse option in CJ88.

Go to CJ88 and Menu option Settlement---> Reverse

Once u reverse settement, you can delete Result Analysis data through KKA8.

Follow procedure mentioned in Procedure of Error message.
