• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 7A312 - Statistical key figure with usage &1 for POC not defined (IMG) ?

  The SAP error message 7A312 indicates that a statistical key figure (SKF) with a specific usage is not defined in the system for the purpose of Percentage of Completion (POC) accounting. This error typically arises in the context of project management and controlling, particularly when dealing with project-related costs and revenues.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A statistical key figure is referenced in a project or controlling document, but it has not been defined in the system.
  The statistical key figure is required for calculating the Percentage of Completion (POC) but is missing or incorrectly configured in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to define the missing statistical key figure in the system. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the SAP IMG (Implementation Guide):
  
  Use transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide.
  
  
  
  Navigate to the Statistical Key Figures Configuration:
  
  Follow the path: Controlling -> General Controlling -> Statistical Key Figures -> Define Statistical Key Figures.
  
  
  
  Define the Missing Statistical Key Figure:
  
  Check if the statistical key figure with the specified usage (indicated by &1 in the error message) is listed.
  If it is not defined, create a new statistical key figure by clicking on the "New Entries" button.
  Fill in the required fields, including the key figure name, description, and usage type.
  
  
  
  Assign the Statistical Key Figure to the Relevant Objects:
  
  Ensure that the newly defined statistical key figure is assigned to the relevant cost centers, internal orders, or projects as needed.
  
  
  
  Check for Consistency:
  
  After defining the SKF, check for any inconsistencies in the project or controlling documents that might still reference the missing SKF.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Once the SKF is defined and assigned, try to execute the transaction or process that previously generated the error to confirm that the issue is resolved.
