Diagnosis
The Transfer to Financial Accounting indicator is turned on inresults analysis version &v2& incontrolling area &v1&. Posting rules canonly be changed if this indicator is turned off.
Switching this indicator on and off can cause inconsistencies ifassociated posting rules have been created and you have alreadysettled.

• If you turn the indicator off, data that has already been posted to
Financial Accounting from WIPcalculation or resultsanalysis is not reversed, and changes to this data are not updatedto Financial Accounting.
Furthermore, if you turn off this indicator it becomes possible to makechanges in the associated posting rules again. Because such changes caneasily cause inconsistencies, it is strongly recommended that you donot make such changes if you have already settled.
Example of an incompatible change:
WIP is posted to a different account than before. The result is thatwhen the WIP is canceled, the new account is credited instead of theoriginal account.

• If you turn the indicator on, the data calculated by WIP calculation or
results analysis is transferred to Financial Accounting when yousettle.
Because subsequent changes to the associated posting rules can resultin inconsistencies, the system only allows you to change these postingrules if the indicator Transfer to Financial Accounting isturned off.

System Response
The system does not allow the posting rules to be changed.

Procedure
Do not turn on the indicator Transfer to Financial Accountinguntil you have completely maintained the posting rules. You should notchange the posting rules later.
If it nevertheless becomes necessary to change the posting rules later,check whether the change in the posting rules is compatible with theposting of results analysis data thathas already been settled.
If you still want to make an incompatible change, you can first reversethe data already posted in two ways:


• Reverse the settlements


• Cancel the results analysis data that has already been settled with
results analysis type Z and settle again. Allsettled data then add to zero. You set results analysis type Zin Customizing for Product Cost by Sales Order under Period-End Closing-> Results Analysis. Also go into Customizing for Product Cost by SalesOrder if you want to cancel the results analysis data calculated in WIPcalculation in Product Cost by Period or Product Cost by Order.
After the reversal of posted data, turn off the Transfer toFinancial Accounting indicator in the results analysis version. Thenchange the posting rules accordingly. Then select the indicator in theresults analysis version again. Make absolutely sure that no settlementis performed during the change, because it would not include the dataof WIP calculation or results analysis due to the fact that theTransfer to Financial Accounting indicator was turned off.
