• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HF219 - Value category & & is for statistical key figures only ?

  The SAP error message HF219 ("Value category & & is for statistical key figures only") typically occurs in the context of SAP Controlling (CO) when you are trying to enter or process a value that is not compatible with the expected data type for a statistical key figure. This error indicates that the value category you are trying to use is designated for statistical key figures, but the data being processed does not meet the criteria for that category.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Value Category: The value category you are trying to use is meant for statistical key figures, but you are attempting to use it in a context that requires a different type of value (e.g., actual or planned values).
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in the data entry where a statistical key figure is expected, but a different type of figure is being entered.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the SAP system may not be set up correctly, leading to the system misinterpreting the value category.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Value Category: Verify that the value category you are using is indeed intended for statistical key figures. You can do this by checking the configuration settings in the SAP system.
  Correct Data Entry: Ensure that you are entering the correct type of data for the context in which you are working. If you are supposed to enter a statistical key figure, make sure that the data aligns with that requirement.
  Review Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, review the settings in the controlling area and ensure that the value categories are correctly defined. You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to make necessary adjustments.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on value categories and statistical key figures to ensure you are using them correctly.
