There are no accrued amounts; settlement is not possible

Author: sapexpert | Files under SAP Tips

Error Message:

Message no. KD256 – “There are no accrued amounts; settlement is not possible”.

Analysis and Diagnosis:

The above error message encountered during settlement through transaction CO88.

The sender has a results analysis key, but no accrued values.

Either the accrual was not yet started for the sender, or the values to be settled from the accrual equal zero.

Solution:

SAP note 179533 provides the solution of the above error message. Here’s an excerpts taken from SAP note 179533:

  • Cause and prerequisites

Preconditions for message KD256 are:

1.  The sender carries a results analysis key; and

2.  it is

»» a sender with revenue; or

»» a production order with FUL rule to product which in the settlement period has neither the status DLV nor the status TECO; or

»» a WBS element which does not have the status TECO; or

»» an order, which in the settlement period has neither the status DLV nor the status TECO, and the indicator ‘WIP on dependent orders’ is in the results analysis version.

In these cases, only data from accrual calculation is settled. In the cases b) to d), no actual costs are settled to the receiver of the settlement rule.

The error message is now output

    1. if no accrual calculation has been carried out; or
    2. the accrued data have already been settled; or
    3. the flag ‘Settlement to FI’ has not been set in any of the results analysis versions; or
    4. no posting rules have been defined for any of the results analysis categories.
  • Solution
    1. Check for the cases b), c) and d) whether the sender already had the status GLV or TECO in the settlement period, that is, whether the delivery date or the date of the technical closure is prior to the posting date of the settlement. If this is not the case, the system continues to determine and settle in period WIP.
    Note: Prior to Release 4.0, the system did not update the date of the technical closure with WBS elements. This is why the date of the technical closure was not checked in Release 3.0/3.1. This was an error in Release 3.0/3.1.
    2. Check the settings in the Customizing of accrual calculation, that is, check the flags ‘Settlement to FI’ in the results analysis version and check the posting rules.
    3. Check the previous settlements for the sender. For this use the function ‘Extras -> Previous settlements’ on the initial screen of the settlement.
    4. If necessary, start accrual calculation for the sender again and start the settlement again afterwards.
