Symptom
You execute a Actual Cost Release run: It finishes with the error "Application runtime exception, please report an incident".
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Inventory Valuation work center and the Actual Cost Release view.
- Open the application log of the affected run.
- In the Messages tab the error "Application runtime exception, please report an incident" is displayed.
Cause
For one or more materials processed by this release run a zero actual cost was calculated. As there is no meaning to release a zero actual cost the run ends with the error.
A zero actual cost is always caused by total zero inventory amount with series of inventory transactions and cancellations. For example, when all inbound and outbound delivery transactions are all canceled in the same period.
The Actual Costing Release run can't set a value for an inventory that is negative or zero.
You can see which materials will cause a dump during the run by checking the Material Inventories - Balance Summary or Material Inventories - Balance History report to identify the inventory levels for the selected range of the Actual Costing Release run.
Resolution
We plan to improve the error message for this scenario to point toward the Materials with a current zero Actual Cost.
For now, and until further notice, if this error appears
- Check the actual cost of all materials in the Material Actual Costing view of the Inventory Valuation work center.
- Create a new Actual Cost Release run but exclude all the materials with a zero actual cost.
