Message no. KJ161 when executing KKAX

Question

Dear Experts,
My question is related to the following forums -

Our user found the following error when executing KKAX so the production order could NOT be closed after executing the KKAX & KO88 - 
There are values for cost element 33336001 that are not assigned to any line ID
Message no. KJ161
Diagnosis
Not all values for the cost element are assigned to a line ID.
Procedure
Assign the cost element to a line ID. If you don't want to include the cost element in results analysis, assign it to a line ID of category N.
You can access a detailed list of unassigned cost elements as follows: Start results analysis in the individual processing mode (transaction KKA1, KKA2, or KKA3). Select the field Full log. Execute the function. On the next screen, choose Logs -> Parameter List in the menu. A list is generated. The unassigned values are shown at the end of the list.
If cost element "++++++++++" was shown in the message, this is because in the assignment of costs and revenues to line IDs, you have not used a cost element other than the full masking "++++++++++". In this case a presummarization eliminates the information on the cost element.
According to the above forums, we have to assign the line ID for the above cost element using OKBG. However, the posting of this a/c 33336001 was actually wrong as our user inputted wrong a/c no. when executing our customised movement type "981 (GI for Line Scrap)" for raw material as below -
Then, user had already used customised MT 982 (RE for Line Scrap) to revoke the movement and the a/c posting was also revoked as below -
In the cost analysis of the production order, we also found the cost of this a/c 33336001 was already "0". As the a/c 33336001 was currently not in use for the production orders' processing, To let user successfully execute KKAX, KO88 and close this production order, should we still have to change the config. in OKBG or elsewhere ? or Anything user can do instead of changing the config. ?
For your advise.
Tks,

Hi,
Line IDs are just grouping on GL accounts and there is no setting inside these IDs.
However this grouping should follow certain logic. Revenues in separate Line ID, settlement cost elements in separate Line ID, etc.
This is because in config transaction OKGA you assign Line IDs to "Categories".
As per SAP Help:
"Category
Identifies the cost elements that are grouped into line IDs for the calculation of work in process and results analysis.
WIP Calculation at Actual Cost
    The following categories are used:   
K - Costs
All costs for which work in process can be created (such as material costs, internal activities, and external activities) must be assigned to line IDs of this category.
A - Settled Costs
    This category is used with WIP calculation at actual cost.   
All cost elements for goods receipts to the warehouse inventory must be assigned to line IDs of this category.
The order is credited at the time of the goods receipt. The costs credited to the order at the time of the goods receipt are subtracted from the debits to the order if WIP at actual costs is being used. Work in process is the difference between the debit and the credit.
N - Costs Not to Be Included
All cost elements for which no work in process is to be created (such as sales and administration costs or special direct costs of production) must be assigned to line IDs of this category."
Hope it helps.
