CE043
- Formula & causes recursiveness ?The SAP error message CE043, which states "Formula & causes recursiveness," typically occurs in the context of SAP Controlling (CO) when working with cost center accounting, profit center accounting, or similar areas where formulas are defined for cost allocations or calculations.
Cause: The error indicates that there is a recursive reference in the formula you are trying to use. This means that the formula is indirectly or directly referencing itself, which creates a loop that cannot be resolved. For example, if Formula A references Formula B, and Formula B references Formula A, this creates a circular dependency.
Solution: To resolve the CE043 error, you can take the following steps: Review the Formula: Check the formula that is causing the error. Look for any references that may lead back to the original formula. Ensure that there are no circular references. Modify the Formula: If you identify a recursive reference, modify the formula to eliminate the circular dependency.
