SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 206

• 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 you are using
account-based profitability analysis, the account-based line items are
posted to G/L line item table ACDOCA.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Check your selection criteria.
