• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCO_COPA060 - Number of deleted and updated entries differs from selected entries ?

  The SAP error message FCO_COPA060 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the number of entries that were deleted or updated and the number of entries that were selected for processing in the context of CO-PA (Controlling - Profitability Analysis). This error typically arises during the execution of a report or a transaction that involves data manipulation in CO-PA.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: The most common cause of this error is that the system is trying to delete or update a set of entries, but the number of entries that were actually processed does not match the number of entries that were initially selected. This can happen due to:
  
  Concurrent updates or deletions by other users or processes.
  Data integrity issues in the CO-PA tables.
  Filters or selection criteria that do not match the expected data set.
  
  
  
  Locking Issues: If another user or process has locked the entries that are being updated or deleted, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Custom Code or Enhancements: If there are custom programs or enhancements that manipulate CO-PA data, they might not be handling the data correctly, leading to discrepancies.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Concurrent Processes: Ensure that no other users or processes are trying to update or delete the same entries at the same time. You can use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) and SM21 (to check the system log) to identify any issues.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria used in the report or transaction to ensure that they are correct and that they match the expected data set.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the CO-PA data to identify any inconsistencies. You can use transaction code KE5Z (for CO-PA) to analyze the data.
  
  
  Debugging Custom Code: If there are custom programs involved, debug the code to ensure that it is correctly handling the data and that it is not causing the discrepancy.
  
  
  Reprocess the Transaction: After resolving any issues, try to reprocess the transaction that generated the error.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
