Settlement in CJ88 after succesful results analysis on WBS

Question

Dear All,
When I run CNE1 after i have estimated my PoC on my WBS project, this is succesful. I calculate the results analysis succesfully in KKA2 for my project. When i want to post the settlement of the RA, I receive errors such as "Maintain settlement rule on sender" and "the GL account needs a CO assignment".
My settlement rule is 100% PER and is maintained on every level of the WBS structure except one position which is the Receiver.
Any ideas?
Thanks Debora

Hello Debora
The Error   KD 205 is issued during settlement becasue  the results analysis is calculating costs of sales on line ID level.
Those costs of sales do add up to zero, but as settlement   is checking on line ID level, the message is issued.
To avoid that results analysis is calculating cost of sales if  you choose special function B in the valuation method (OKG3).
The system will then calculate negative WIP instead of reserves for
unrealized costs in the case of negative actual costs (see notes  365075 and 385616).
If you do want reserves for unrealized costs being calculated in the case of negative actual costs, but no costs of sales
(no error KD 205  when no settlement rule exists),
you could also change the method  of apportionment in OKG3 to 'I'. The reserves for unrealized costs
will then be apportioned in proportion to the actual costs, so no cost of sales will be calculated on line ID level.
hope this helps
