  The SAP error message GPSC057 indicates that there is an issue with the entry of an Equity Type for a Profitability Segment (PSC) that has been marked as "Not Equity Group PSC." This typically occurs in the context of Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) within SAP, where different types of segments are defined for reporting and analysis purposes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a user attempts to assign an Equity Type to a PSC that has been designated as "Not Equity Group PSC." In SAP, certain PSCs are classified in a way that they should not have an Equity Type associated with them.

  Solution:

  Check PSC Configuration: Review the configuration of the PSC in question. Ensure that it is correctly marked as "Not Equity Group PSC" if that is the intended classification.
  
  
  Remove Equity Type: If the PSC is indeed marked as "Not Equity Group PSC," you should remove any Equity Type that has been assigned to it. This can typically be done in the configuration settings for the PSC.
  
  
  Review Business Requirements: Confirm with your business requirements or reporting needs to ensure that the PSC is set up correctly. If it needs to be an Equity Group PSC, you may need to change its classification.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP guidelines for specific instructions on how to manage PSCs and Equity Types.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the reporting works as expected.
