FCO_COPA002 - Details

• The SAP error message FCO_COPA002 indicates that a characteristic name in the Controlling Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) is too long to be carried forward in the ACDOCA table, which is the universal journal in SAP S/4HANA. This error typically arises during the process of transferring data from CO-PA to the universal journal, where the system enforces certain length restrictions on characteristic names.
  
  Cause:
  
  Length Restriction: The characteristic name exceeds the maximum allowed length for fields in the ACDOCA table. In SAP, certain fields have defined lengths, and if the characteristic name surpasses this limit, the error will occur.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the CO-PA settings or the way characteristics are defined in the system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Length: Review the characteristics defined in your CO-PA configuration. Ensure that none of the characteristic names exceed the maximum length allowed by ACDOCA. The maximum length for characteristic names in ACDOCA is typically 30 characters.
