  • What causes this issue?

    You are switching on account-based CO-PA. If you save, the settings for
    profitability segment characteristics will be deleted. These settings
    are only appropriate for costing-based CO-PA and cannot be used in
    account-based CO-PA.
    If you have defined any restrictions for characteristics that exclude
    these characteristics for use by a particular profitability segment,
    this restriction is removed when you save. As a result, each
    profitability segment will contain all available characteristics, which
    is the default in SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA.
