• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CATSXT048 - Statistical key figure is not permitted in derivation & & & ?

  The SAP error message CATSXT048 indicates that a statistical key figure is not permitted in the derivation process within the Controlling (CO) module, specifically in the context of the Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS) or related functionalities. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to use a statistical key figure in a context where it is not allowed, such as in cost allocation or distribution processes.
  
  Cause:
  
  Statistical Key Figures: Statistical key figures are used for statistical purposes and are not intended for direct cost allocation. If a derivation rule or a configuration is set up to use a statistical key figure where a primary cost element is expected, this error will occur.
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the Controlling module may not be set up correctly to allow for the use of statistical key figures in the specific derivation scenario.
  Incorrect Derivation Logic: The derivation logic defined in the system may
