GK555 - Details

• The SAP error message GK555, which states "Bottom-up inheritance not allowed for &3," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) module. This error is related to the way characteristics are inherited in the data structure of CO-PA.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises when there is an attempt to perform bottom-up inheritance for a characteristic that does not support it. In CO-PA, characteristics can be defined to inherit values from higher levels (top-down) or lower levels (bottom-up). However, certain characteristics are not designed to allow bottom-up inheritance due to the nature of the data or the configuration settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the GK555 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Configuration: Review the configuration of the characteristic that is causing the error (indicated by &3 in the message). Ensure that it is set up correctly and that bottom-up inheritance is appropriate for this characteristic.
  
  
  Adjust Inheritance Settings: If bottom-up inheritance is not allowed
