All error messages must be cleared

When there is a warning message, it often happens that there is a mistake in the costing. So even if it is not compulsory, it is recommended to check the warning messages and try to correct it. 

Note: Sometimes, despite not having any error, some materials remain in column "Still Open". This is related with a technical issue linked to the mixed-costing materials. In order to correct the display table it's necessary to execute transaction CKSU.

All variances above a defined threshold must be commented. The threshold is defined by the FRA : 

  • Unit cost variance %
  • Inventory revaluation value. 

If the threshold is above +/- 10% at unit cost level or +/- 50 k€ at item inventory revaluation level should be authorized by RCOM.


Open the file

If:

  • the unit variation is > 10% (or local threshold)
  • or Anticipated reval is > 50 kEUR (or local threshold), 

a deeper analysis is requested

 

 

In this example, the costing of the following materials 60444, 64151, 64158, 64235, 64248 have to be checked and validated

as the variance is above 10% or/and the revaluation above 50 k€
