Symptom
Error message KF018 Complete PA transfer structure ** in VL02N.
When performing a posting in VL02N with Costing Based and Margin Analysis COPA active, an error message is output stating that the PA transfer structure needs to be set. The error message states that the COGS account posted at the time of goods issue needs to be transferred to PA by using PA Transfer Structure. It is true that in the Margin Analysis state, the COGS account is transferred to COPA at the time of goods issue, while in the Costing Based, the COGS account is transferred to COPA at the time of invoicing. Since the PA transfer structure is a customization referenced in the Costing Based state, it is expected it is not needed at the time of VL02N. Despite this, an error is raised mentioning that the COGS needs to be transferred to COPA.
