Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs

Question

Hi!
We are doing settlement for process orders, most of the process orders are created and goods receipts happened before standard cost estimation is released.
So during varaince calculation (KKS2/KKS1) we are getting error message: Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs
as we cannot cancel the goods receipts for process orders, we are doing settlements with remaining variance only.
The variance will directly go to CO-PA, as we have activated the same.
the example of one process order:
Total goods receipt is : 44175.58     co-product 1
                                   3757.38     co-product 2
total receipt              47932.96
Materials Issued(GI)     20025.98     
Activity Cost          11985.3     
_Total Cost     _     32011.28     
the variance is:            13764.86             co-product 1 ( as per settlement rule 95%)
                                  2156.82              co-product 2  ( as per settlement rule 5%)
                                  15921.68
Once we have done the settlement there are 4 accounting documents posted for variance:
1.     Cost of production a/c DR 3757.38
                    TO Variance A/C Cr 3757.38  ( value flowing to COPA)
2.     Cost of production a/c DR 44175.58
                    TO Variance A/C Cr 44175.58 ( value flowing to COPA)
3.     Cost of production a/c CR 1600.56
                   TO Variance A/C Dr 1600.56 ( value is not flowing to COPA)
4.     Cost of production a/c CR 30410.72
                    TO Variance A/C Dr 30410.72 ( value is not flowing to COPA)
So the net effect of variance account posting in FI is OK.
But where as in CO-PA, variance is different, because only first two values ( total goods receipt value as variance amount) as above are passing to COPA.
Now how can we rectify the variance values in CO-PA?
We are using PA transfer structure A1 with the following assignments:
10     Input price variance
20     Mat Input quantity variance
30     Mat Resource-usage variance
40     Remaining input variance
50     Mixed-price variance
60     Output price variance
70     Lot size-/fixed-cost variance
80     Remaining variance
90     Scrap

Hi ramesh
You need to live with this as you cant reverse the GR
To check this henceforth, use badi Workorder_update and write abap code for the Method AT SAVE or AT RELEASE... Check if field MBEW-LPLPR is INITIAL
