Reason and Prerequisites

Solution

You want to perform results analysis for a WBS element or sales document item (item in a sales order or sales and distribution document). The data of a second account assignment object (WBS element, sales document item, production order, or internal order) is summarized on this account assignment object. The second account assignment object belongs to a different company code than the account assignment object for which you want to perform results analysis. Since results analysis determines work in process and reserves that can be transferred to financial accounting, data from different company codes should not be used in results analysis without reconciliation postings. Message KJ127 is issued. You can still include the data of the second company code in results analysis, however. There are two ways of doing this:

1. You can use settlement to post the data of the account assignment object from the second company code to the account assignment object for results analysis. Settlement automatically generates the necessary reconciliation postings between the company codes.

If you perform results analysis as you originally intended, you do not need to change the results analysis customizing settings. Message KJ127 is still issued, but you can ignore it because the actual data from the second company code were transferred by means of settlement. You must perform settlement both before and after results analysis. The planning data of the account assignment object from the second company code were included in results analysis. You can transfer WIP and reserves to financial accounting.

2. If you don't want to use settlement to transfer the data of the account assignment object from the second company code to the account assignment object for results analysis, you can use only the summarization functions of results analysis. Remember that no reconciliation postings are generated when actual data from a second company code are used in results analysis.

Use a results analysis version other than version 0. In Customizing for this results analysis version, select "Cross-company valuation" (from Release 4.0 upwards, this is under Extended Control). Message KJ127 is no longer issued. The results analysis data is now only calculated in the controlling area currency, and not in company code currency. You cannot transfer the data to financial accounting. In Customizing for the results analysis version, therefore, "Transfer to Financial Accounting" should not be turned on.

If you use results analysis version 0, it is currently possible to allocate the results analysis data to another object or to profitability analysis. However, this does not make sense due to the missing reconciliation postings between the company codes. Therefore, you should use a different results analysis version. Crediting according to the settlement rule is only possible for results analysis version 0.

If you have already performed results analysis with the "Cross-company valuation" indicator not selected, you cannot go back and select the indicator and then perform results analysis again. This is not supported and can result in data inconsistencies. Therefore error message KJ 130 is displayed.

If you do not have to valuate the project or customer order for several companies, split the project structure plan or the customer order structure into portions that belong to one company code each. Carry out the results analysis on the basis of suitable WBS elements or items on which you valuate
