SAP Error Message - Details

What causes this issue?

All company codes will be selected for country grouping &V1& from table
T500P <LS>Personnel Areas</>. These company codes must be assigned to
the same country keys in table T001 <LS>Company Codes</>.
This is not the case. The company codes for country grouping &V1& are
assigned at least two different country keys in table T001 <LS>Company
Codes</>.
The following two failure causes are possible:

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

In the <LS>Personnel Area - Company Code Assignment</> view (V_T500P),
country grouping &V1& is assigned a company code that does not belong
to it. Hence, in table <LS>Company Codes</> (T001), a differentiation
is made between the country key of this company code and the country
key of the company code that actually belongs to country grouping &V1&.
In this case, correct the entry in the <LS>Personnel Area - Company
Code Assignment</> view (V_T500P) by assigning the correct country
grouping to the company code.
The country key in table <LS>Company Code</> (T001) is incorrect for at
least one company code that was selected for country grouping &V1&.
In this case, correct the entry.

System Response
