FCO_COPA205 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FCO_COPA - SFIN message class for CO-PA relevant issues

• Message number: 205

• Message text: Selection on field &1 (&2) only relevant for ACDOCA -> See long text

What causes this issue?

You are performing a selection on field &V1& (&V2&). As operating &V3&
is (also) defined for account-based profitability analysis, you
can activate this type of profitability analysis in a controlling area
and fiscal year. In this case account-based line items are posted to G/L
line item table ACDOCA.

System Response

This selection is only applied to ACDOCA line items. It is not relevant
for selecting data from segment level table &V4&. This leads to the
following behavior when selecting the data to be realigned:
Table ACDOCA: All specified selection criteria are taken into account
when selecting the account-based line items to be adapted.
Table &V4&: Only the selection criteria are considered which are NOT
fields starting with "ACDOCA-".
As a result, more profitability segments in table &V4& might be
realigned than account-based line items in table ACDOCA.
Example: Consider a selection for BUKRS (company code) "0001" and
ACDOCA-GJAHR (fiscal year) "2016". For this case in table ACDOCA only
the account-based line items for company code "0001 and fiscal year
"2016" would be realigned whereas the realignment would be applied to
all profitability segments in table &V4& which are assigned to company
code "0001".

How to fix this error?

Check your selection criteria.
