• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP713 - Line layout & not defined (please check) ?

  The SAP error message CP713 ("Line layout & not defined (please check)") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with reports or layouts in the Cost Center Accounting (CCA) or Profit Center Accounting (PCA) areas. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a defined line layout for the report or transaction you are trying to execute.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Line Layout Definition: The line layout that you are trying to use has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the report or layout may be incorrect or incomplete.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the defined line layouts.
  Transport Issues: If the layout was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported or activated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define the Line Layout:
  
  Go to the transaction code KSB1 (for Cost Centers) or KSBP (for Profit Centers).
  Navigate to the layout settings and ensure that the required line layout is defined.
  If it is not defined, create a new line layout by following the necessary steps in the configuration.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Use transaction code OKKP to check the configuration settings for the controlling area.
  Ensure that the line layout is correctly assigned to the relevant reports.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the line layout. This can be checked in transaction code SU53 after the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the layout was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects were included.
  If needed, re-import the transport request or manually create the line layout in the target system.
