How To Fix FCO_COPA205 - Selection on field &1 (&2) only relevant for ACDOCA -> See long text

SAP Error Message - Details

• 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".

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCO_COPA205 - Selection on field &1 (&2) only relevant for ACDOCA -> See long text ?

  The SAP error message FCO_COPA205 indicates that there is an issue with the selection criteria used in a report or transaction related to CO-PA (Controlling-Profitability Analysis) when it is trying to access the ACDOCA table (the universal journal table in SAP S/4HANA). This error typically arises when a field that is being used in the selection criteria is not relevant for the ACDOCA table.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The field specified in the selection criteria (denoted as &1) is not applicable for the ACDOCA table.
  The ACDOCA table is designed to hold a specific set of fields, and any attempt to filter or select based on fields that do not exist in this table will trigger this error.
  This can happen if the report or transaction is incorrectly configured or if there is a misunderstanding of the data model.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FCO_COPA205 error, you can take the following steps:

  Use Alternative Tables: If you need to use fields that are not available in ACDOCA, consider using other relevant tables that contain the required fields, such as the CO-PA tables (e.g., CE1xxxx, CE2xxxx).
