SAP Note 386816 - WIP and variance calculation: Errors KV158, KV181

Component : Cost Object Controlling -

Summary :
SAP advises on error messages KV158 and KV181 arising during WIP or variance calculations in periodic cost controlling related to inconsistencies between routings mentioned in the orders and the cost estimate used. This issue typically surfaces while handling scrap valuations where the routing in actual transactions varies from that incorporated in the target cost structure. Resolving this requires aligning the cost estimate details with those from the production routings, ensuring both utilize the same task list type and group. From SAP Release 4.0A, customizable valuation strategies enable explicit specification of cost estimates for both WIP and scrap valuation, ideally selecting the preliminary plan for accuracy in varied routing scenarios.
