Symptom
Revenue recognition failed for project due to error message: 'Maintain plan revenues suitable for WBS element xxx using revenue method xx'.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
For RA key EPMFR, the cost is recognized based on the revenue-based percentage of completion (POC) method. Thus, the planned revenue is necessary, and the accrued cost is calculated based on the actual cost * actual revenue/planned revenue. Since there's no planned revenue, the error 'Maintain plan revenues suitable for WBS element xxx using revenue method xx' is raised and the revenue recognition is not triggered.
Resolution
Kindly make sure the planned revenue is imported using cost element category '11' or '12' and this account is assigned to a revenue recognition revenue source.
Besides, make sure the planned revenue is imported to WBS element level, the planned revenue imported to project level only(with empty WBS element) is not applied here.
